copied!<p>After A LOT of hit and miss (probably since I don't know .htaccess) I've figured it out:</p> <pre><code>RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} .*MSIE.* RedirectMatch ^/$ index.IE.htm DirectoryIndex index.xhtml </code></pre> <p>The above snippet will have effect when someone visits "http://www.yoursite.com/optionalFolder/". It will redirect from there, to index.IE.htm if the visitor is any form of Internet Explorer over version 4, else (if you're not IE) go to index.xhtml.</p> <hr> <p>I have also found a neat trick to get Internet Explorer to actually read the same .xhtml as Text/HTML, so you won't have to maintain 2 separate versions of the same site:</p> <pre><code>RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} .*MSIE.* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.xhtml$ RewriteRule .* - [T=text/html] </code></pre> <p>This snippet has effect when someone accesses "http://www.yoursite.com/<strong>anyPageName.xhtml</strong>". If it's Internet Explorer, then it will overwrite the document type to <strong>text/html</strong> instead of <strong>application/xhtml+xml</strong>. Else, any other browser will open the xhtml normally.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Question:</strong> How can I get snippet #2 to work for a URL that has just the directory path? </p> <p>(it only works for "http://www.yoursite.com/<strong>pageName.xhtml</strong>"; how can I get it to work for "http://www.yoursite.com/optionalFolder/"?)</p> <p>In other words, <code>DirectoryIndex index.xhtml</code> doesn't work in snippet #2 (it overpowers the RewriteRule for IE; if I add DirectoryIndex, IE will auto-download the xhml)</p>
