Problem detecting empty REQUEST_URI with Apache mod_rewrite

Question

I am running Apache witha redirect rule like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^1st-domain\\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://2nd-domain.com$1 [R=permanent,L]
         


        

Answer 1

I tried the options stated on this page, all I wanted was to check if the REQUEST_URI is empty (or in this particular case, a /):

# Check of the request uri is just 1 char long (checking for a slash was harder):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.$
