mod_rewrite only on GET

Question

It's a longshot, but I'm hoping to find a simple workaround for a bizarre bug that only manifests when the query string is omitted/inferred by the application.

Before I dig deep into a thousand lines of minified 3rd party javascript, I'd like to find out if I can just auto apply the querystring using mod_rewrite.

RewriteRule    ^index\.php$  index.php?module=Home&action=index

Now, this would work fine except sometimes all the data will be POSTed so I need a RewriteCond so the rule will only fire on GET requests, and not POST requests.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

I'd recommend being explicit and only firing the RewriteRule when the request method is GET, rather than whenever it's not POST as there are numerous other methods. So your rewrite condition could look like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD}  =GET

RewriteRule    ^index\.php$  index.php?module=Home&action=index

Answer 2

Add this condition...

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !POST

...to not match POST requests.
