Search and replace in apache htaccess a RewriteRule

Question

I'd basically like to get

/path/file+name+with+plusses.mp3

to rewrite to

/path/file name with plusses.mp3

In my case wordpress is intercepting the request and giving a 404. But the file does indeed exist.

Given the constraints of the regex in mod_rewrite implementation, I haven't yet seen a straightforward way of doing this.

Answer 1

Try this rule:

RewriteRule ^([^+]*)\+(.*) $1\ $2 [N]
