mod_rewrite with trailing period in URL

Question

I have a RewriteRule on my Apache to make URLs friendly

RewriteRule ^log/(.+)$ script.php?u=$1 [QSA] 

This makes http://example.com/log/use

Answer 1

You can try to check these configuration directives:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/log/(.+)\.$
RewriteRule ^log/(.+)$ /script.php?u=$1 [QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/log/(.+)\.$
RewriteRule ^log/(.+)$ /script.php?u=$1. [QSA]

OR:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/log/(.+)([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1})$
RewriteRule ^log/(.+)$ /script.php?u=$1 [QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/log/(.+)\.$
RewriteRule ^log/(.+)$ /script.php?u=$1. [QSA]

I hope, I'm not mistaken.. Now, as the variable of usernames with one character or one character with trailing period won't work in the second code, we can try to replace the second code with this one:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/log/(.*)([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1})$
RewriteRule ^log/(.+)$ /script.php?u=$1 [QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/log/(.*)\.$
RewriteRule ^log/(.*)$ /script.php?u=$1. [QSA]

Or you could try these three liner directives if you doesn't like the four liner:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/log/(.*)\.$
RewriteRule ^log/(.*)$ /script.php?u=$1. [QSA]
RewriteRule ^log/(.*)([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1})$ /script.php?u=$1$2 [QSA]

I hope, all these codes above will work!
