    htaccess question

    If I want to redirect all Arabic Language Browsers would the following work:

    RehahahahahaCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ar* [NC]
    RehahahahahaRule .* http://www.yahoo.com

    My question is about the "ar*" , is that correct?

    I would like to avoid having multiple lines for: ar-dz, ar-bh, etc...
    So I am guessing putting a * is a wildcard?

    Thx!

          yes ar is correct, but you do not need the wild card.

                  But without the wild card I would need multiple lines to block
                  all the Arabic codes right? i.e.:

                  RehahahahahaCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ar-dz [NC]
                  RehahahahahaRule .* http://www.yahoo.com
                  RehahahahahaCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ar-bh [NC]
                  RehahahahahaRule .* http://www.yahoo.com
                  RehahahahahaCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ar-eg [NC]
                  RehahahahahaRule .* http://www.yahoo.com
                  RehahahahahaCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ar-iq [NC]

                  I would like to block all browsers that have ar followed by anything. So if not a *, what would I use?

                  Thx!

                      I believe if you put a start of line anchor ie: ^ in front of the language code it'll cover them all.

                      ^ar [NC]

                      would get ar-dz, ar-bh, etc...

                              Maybe for redirecting them to dialers or worse

                                  Correct. ^ is start of string $ is end of str-ing.

                                      oh btw...

                                      ar*

                                      * isn't the wildcard character the period (.) is.

                                      .* = anything zero or more times

                                      .+ = anything 1 or more times.
