Description Sean M. Alderman 2002-07-18 18:59:41 UTC 
The following configuration example causes loss of the query string...

Servername xxx.xxx.com
#ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin
<Directory />
Redirect /cgi-bin/ http://yyy.xxx.com/cgi-bin/

...

</Directory>

-----
With the above config -
Browser is pointed to http://xxx.xxx.com/cgi-bin/some.cgi?q=abc
Browser is sent a 302 with new location at http://yyy.xxx.com/cgi-bin/some.cgi
-----

Using the redirect outside of the <Directory XYZ> block functions properly

ServerName xxx.xxx.com
#ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/
Redirect /cgi-bin/ http://yyy.xxx.com/cgi-bin/
<Directory />
...
</Directory>

----
Browser points to http://xxx.xxx.com/cgi-bin/some.cgi?q=abc
Browser is sent a 302 with location of http://yyy.xxx.com/cgi-bin/some.cgi?q=abc
----

I have tested this repeatedly on RedHat 7.3 and Solaris 8.  Verifying both
visually with the browser and a network sniff.

The problem is fixed in main dev branch (2.1) and proposed for backport.

Thanks for your report and thanks for using Apache!

FYI: Finally merged into the 1.3 and 2.0 stable trees (1.3.28 and 2.0.46 will
include the fix).
