Plasticx Blog

This is how I’m doing a 302 redirect to Feedburner from my Apache2 virtual host settings for this blog. Its only for the main articles syndication in RSS and Atom . Everyone is redirected to Feedburner except for their web crawling bot. I’m doing this so people can see Feedburner’s shiny widget ( ) in the sidebar showing that only 1 or 2 people subscribe to my blog.

I put the following in between the RewriteEngine On statement and the static maintenance statement RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/system/maintenance.html -f covered in this post describing an Apache vhosts setup for a Rails app

# 302 temporary, 301 permanent
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}  !^FeedBurner/.*
RewriteRule ^/xml/rss20/feed.xml$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/mondragon/PQVR [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^/xml/atom/feed.xml$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/mondragon/PQVR [R=302,L]
