Paramaters on the urls are not getting removed!

[sachindey1231]

While using R=301 redirect the paramaters on the urls are not getting removed!
E.g www.xyz.com/content/we-retail/us/en/technology#web
=> www.xyz.com/content/we-retail/us/en/science#web

Rule used

^/content/we-retail/us/en/technology/#india$ /content/we-retail/us/en/science.html [NC,R=301,L]

Cannot use the flag QSD as i am on version 2.2

The redirection is sucess but #web persists!
Anyone knows how to fix this?

Hi @sachindey1231 ,

Can you try using the below rule (added '?' at the end of target url)

^/content/we-retail/us/en/technology/#india$ /content/we-retail/us/en/science.html? [NC,R=301,L]

Reference:

try with https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/rewrite/flags.html#flag_qsa

I think #anchor does not propagate to servers , so should not be able to add checks on that.

Thanks @arunpatidar I have already given it a try but it does not work. I also think that this cannot be done directly using a flag. I have taken more of customized approach to solve this now!
