If you really want to redirect requests of the form /controller/action?param1Name=param1Value to /controller/action/param1Name/param1Value, try this:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /[^/]+/[^/]+\?[^\s]+
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([^=&]+)=([^&]+)&?(.*)
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/[^/]+.* /$0/%1/%2?%3 [N]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /[^/]+/[^/]+\?[^\s]+
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/[^/]+.* /$0 [L,R=301]

But if you want to opposite way:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+/[^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)(/.*) $1$4?$2=$3 [QSA]

If you're doing it for cosmetic reasons you may want to do a POST instead, and then the query params will not be shown in the URL.

If not - I'd like to see the answer to this one myself!
