WP Simple Download Monitor File Download URL Redirect issues

Question

In .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =sdmon=software_download/software1.exe
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://download.domain.com/software1.exe? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =sdmon=software_download/software2.exe
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://download.domain.com/software2.exe? [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

These rules redirect http:www.domain.com/index.php?sdmon=software_download/software1.exe to http:www.domain.com/software1.exe ....

My question is : How to combine the 2 sets of rules into a single one.

Answer 1

Try this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^sdmon=software_download/software(\d+)\.exe$
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://download.domain.com/software%1.exe? [L,R=301]

That'll work for software1, software5600, and anywhere else in between.

Edit:

For any exe name, try this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^sdmon=software_download/([^/\.]+)\.exe$
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://download.domain.com/%1.exe? [L,R=301]
