RewriteRule trailing dot dropped

[AaZmaN]

Hi everybody!

Hope anyone had this problem and knows the solution...

 

I am trying to rewrite the address as follows:

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z.]+)/?$ index.php?req=$1 [L]

I need this to rewrite the address 'mydomain.com/some.category.' to 'index.php?var=some.category.' (with trailing '.' dot)

Everything works fine except the trailing dot is dropped. The $var variable is without dot from the end.

 

Does anybody know why it is dropped and how to fix it?

Try

 

 

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\.]+)/?$ index.php?req=$1 [L]

 

 

 

Doubt that's it but worth a try.

It doesn't help... the dot in a class definition doesn't have any special meaning... I tried it however..
