how to skip url shortning for some specfic path. - AEM dispatcher

Hi All,

 I have written some rewrite rules for shortening the URL.

RewriteRule ^/content/we-retail/de/de/(.*.html)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [NE,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*.html)$ /content/we-retail/de/de/$1 [PT,L]

with this rule, I am able to short URL   from this ( /content/we-retail/de/de/plp.html)  to (/plp.html).

But I want this rule should not work on some specific path.

ex: if someone is hitting this page.  ---   > /content/test/de/de/plp.html .

it should exclude this rule.

so I have added a rule to skip the condition but somehow it's not working 

 

# skip url shortning   condition  for test
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/content/test/de/de/

Could you please help me how to exclude some paths in the rewrite rule?

    could you please help me with the rule how to add skip flags


    The skip flag is used with the Apache mod_rewrite module in the Apache HTTP Server to control whether certain rewrite rules are applied or skipped. The skip flag is commonly used in conjunction with the RewriteCond directive to conditionally skip certain rewrite rules based on the result of a test.

    For example, you might use the skip flag to skip the execution of a rewrite rule if the request is coming from a specific IP address. Here's an example of how you would use the skip flag in a .htaccess file to skip a rewrite rule for requests coming from the IP address 127.0.0.1:

     

    RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^127\.0\.0\.1$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [S=1] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /new-location/$1 [L]

    In this example, the RewriteEngine directive is used to turn on the rewrite engine, the RewriteCond directive is used to check if the IP address of the remote client matches 127.0.0.1 and if so, the RewriteRule with the S flag will be applied. That will skip the next rule and no further rules will be processed.

    @raushan123 If I am understanding correctly you want your second rule to be ignored when the request URI begins with /content/test/de/de/.

    RewriteRule ^/content/we-retail/de/de/(.*.html)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [NE,R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/content/test/de/de/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/content
    RewriteRule ^/(.*.html)$ /content/we-retail/de/de/$1 [PT,L]

    Based on what you have provided, this configuration should what you need. It is difficult to tell if this is what you have already without a full example of this bit of your configuration.

    While on the topic of conditions, I'll also recommend you have a condition that prevents your second rule from accepting /content requests. This will help prevent issues whereby the path is duplicated in the rewrite.

      @raushan123 You can also use etc/mapping in order to skip URL shortening. Just go through this documentation from Adobe https://helpx.adobe.com/in/experience-manager/kb/multi-domain-management-aem-mappings-for-url-shortening---aem-6-.html

        HI @ 

         could you please guide me, how you want to add another entry for (/content/test/de/de)

        inside etc map . so that we can skip the url shortening for  (/content/test/de/de)

        Right now in the etc map i have entry for we-retail

         

        Note - I have only one domain, I don't have another domain for  (/content/test/de/de).

          @raushan123 Try the below rule

           

          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}   !^/content/test/de(.*) [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}   ^/(.*.html)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /content/we-retail/de/de/$1 [PT,L]

            HI @mohit_kbansal 

            could you please explain about these rule?

             

            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}   !^/content/test/de(.*) [NC]

             with this, you are skipping the condition

             

            and what the use of the below rule is and why I need to add this.

            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}   ^/(.*.html)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /content/we-retail/de/de/$1 [PT,L]

              So, in simple language, the rules are to check

              • If url does not start with path "/content/test/de"
              • AND url should have (.html) extn
              • THEN
              • add context path "/content/we-retail/de/de/" to url and pass through it for further processing.

              So we are adding context path to all ".html" urls except "/content/test/de"
