Hi,
I need to convert these Apache htaccess rules:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^(110\.174\.129\.147|203\.217\.17\.162)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !(Googlebot|msnbot|Surp) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.website.com/$1 [L,R=301,NE]
RewriteRule ^brands$ http://www.website.com/brand [R=301,L]

Could you help me to understand how to convert them?

Thanks in advance

I'd also have to translate this rule:
RewriteRule ^brands/(.*) /brand/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Hiawatha has no equivalent for this:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^(110\.174\.129\.147|203\.217\.17\.162)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !(Googlebot|msnbot|Surp) [NC]

The other two lines will be this:

Match ^/(.*)$ Redirect http://www.website.com/$1
Match ^/brands$ Redirect http://www.website.com/brand

However, the first line does what the second like does. So, the second line is obviate.

The rule from your last message is this:

Match ^/brands/(.*) Redirect /brand/$1

To learn to do this yourself, learn about regular expressions and read the Hiawatha manual page. It's all in there.

Great Hugo!
I didn't know how to match the rule on IP and http user agent basis, since it wasn't documented.
Thanks for your tip!
