how to manange redirect 301 locally

Hello people

I am using Apache 2.0.55 Web server as a service on top of Windows machine
I am using PHP as a server side script

During debugging my application locally on 'localhost'
I performed some 301 redirects on some pages.

Now I cannot make Apache forget about these redirects
For example
I used PHP to peform 301 redirect from
http://localhost/test.php?p=1
to
http://localhost/test.php

I now regret this, but everytime I go to http://localhost/test.php?p=1, I am being taken to
http://localhost/test.php

Since this was done locally, I hope there is a way to tell Apache to forget about this changes
Am I right?

Any help would be appreciated
regards

 

Hi,

What did you do to perform these 301 redirects ? DId you do it within the PHP programs or did you use .htaccess ?

I used the following syntax to perform the 301 redirect:

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://localhost/test.php");
exit;

PHP:

I got to that page using the URL:
http://localhost/test.php?p=1
and that caused it to be redirected to http://localhost/test.php

 

take out that 301 redirect you dont need it, instead use a modrewrite within you .htacess to accomplish what you need

 

There are 2 problems with that solution:
1) It doesn't solve my problem. I still want to be able to go to http://localhost/test.php?p=1 without losing my parameter
2) I cannot let Apache do this redirect as it should only happen upon very specific conditions that I can only verify in PHP

any other suggestions?

 

if($p==""){
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://localhost/test.php");
exit; 
}

PHP:

 

Maybe I am not being clear.
I don't want to know whether I need to redirect or not
I don't want to know how I can perform redirect in other means, or how can I use logic to decide whether to perform redirect

I already performed the permanent (301) redirect.
It is done already - Take it as a fact

I want to revert what I did and to cause apache to forget that it was ever done

 

This does not make sense to me. Apache will not remember what you put in a PHP program yesterday, if you change it today.

I am still not understanding what you try to achieve.

Just delete the redirect code from the page and it will stop working.

Maybe you need to refresh the page to get rid of the cached copyas well.
