Apache Redirect Umlaut Domain
How to 301 Redirect an Umlaut Domain via .htaccess
Hi,
ever felt the need to redirect an 'Umlaut' - Domain containing strange german letters like ä, ö, ü?
it can be some hassle...
After trying several things and endless googleing I luckily found this page to encode a given domain to punycode
Here is an example code with the punycode string in the first line:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_Host} ^(www\.)?xn--grnelust-75a\.de$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.gruenelust.de/$1 [L,R=301]
grünelust.de (xn--grnelust-75a.de after encoding) is redirected to gruenelust.de
greetz,
