    thelastking,

    You can get this done using the mod_rewrite rule below which checks for the pattern in the entire request.

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*(test.php\?q=RANDOMTEXT=&tl=The/path/ends).* [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]
    </IfModule>


    If the file name part doesnt matter much, you can use the QUERY_STRING variable as given below:



    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(RANDOMTEXT=&tl=The/path/ends).* [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]
    </IfModule>



    I referred the excellent article on blocking requests here : http://perishablepress.com/eight-ways-to-blacklist-with-apaches-mod_rewrite/

    Good Luck!
