copied!<p>Edit: I had a chance to play with my htaccess file and I did figure out a solution that I have appended below. Long story short though, I wouldn't use it even though it seems to work.</p> <p><strong>Original:</strong></p> <p>You can try not redirecting if you have already redirected by adding the REDIRECT_STATUS check:</p> <pre><code>RewriteEngine On # redirect to landing page RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^127\.0\.0\.1 // my real IP would go here RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/UpdatePage.html$ [NC] // stop infinite loops on itself RewriteRule .* /UpdatePage.html [R=302,L] </code></pre> <p>From what I understand this would mean: redirect to the UpdatePage.html if the remote address is a certain IP address and it has not been redirected before.</p> <p>I'm unable to check whether this will result in the desired behaviour, but I did get this from the answer on this SO question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/499068/clean-url-redirect-loop">Clean URL Redirect Loop</a>. </p> <p><strong>Tested solution:</strong></p> <p>I played around with my WAMP setup and came up with this:</p> <pre><code>RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$ RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^127\.0\.0\.1 // my real IP would go here RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/UpdatePage.html$ [NC] // stop infinite loops on itself RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.+)\.html$ [NC] // Only handle html pages RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.+)\.html$ [NC] //don't redirect if the referer is a page. Should actually include the domain as well RewriteRule .* /UpdatePage.html [R=302,L] </code></pre> <p>The first time to any html page in the site should redirect to the UpdatePage then the user would click a link on that page and will go to the original page. The referer environment variable is then set and you can check if it is valid and then not redirect.</p> <p>This does not handle going to the root of the website. The user must be loading an html page directly.</p> <p>I much prefer your solution (@james). Coding the logic into the top of the main gateway PHP page is simpler and far less error prone, but I figured I would try to find a way using htaccess :-). Please note that I would never use this particular htaccess method myself.</p>
