The below link was markes as a solution but it is not this is not a domain issue this is a url issue as in the part that comes after the domain name. Apache RewriteRule to remove port on any domain name

example structure

/grid is a folder
/hypergrid.php/ is a file
/:80 is god knows what and needs to be gone
/foreignagent is variable
/ff11bc47-2deb-a55a-9531-08706d736121 is the variable value

I have a program that sends data to a website. bellow is a example of a request from this program.

i do not know why it is injecting a port in the middle of the url but i do not want to rewrite the software. how do i remove :80 from the url using htaccess?

/grid/hypergrid.php/:80/foreignagent/ff11bc47-2deb-a55a-9531-08706d736121/

this url should look like 

/grid/hypergrid.php/foreignagent//

this part of the url is not static `

foreignagent/ff11bc47-2deb-a55a-9531-08706d736121/`

Something like this should work: 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^:80/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]

This assumes the client will follow redirects. If not you'll likely need something like ProxyPass, which won't work in .htaccess but needs to be in the Apache config files.

  • Ahh, a little different perspective after the edits. Perhaps: `RewriteRule ^(.*)/:80/(.*)$ /$1/$2 [R=301,L]` – Will Hogan Oct 17 '15 at 19:54
  • will hogan your answer is the closest except for making it a redirect i can not redirect. can this rule stip from the url? – Kristopher Therrien Oct 17 '15 at 20:30
  • You can remove the 301, `RewriteRule ^(.*)/:80/(.*)$ /$1/$2 [L]`. This doesn't strip it, but returns the response from the functioning URL. To actually change the request URL (stripping the :80) sent to Apache, you need to either proxy or use a redirect. – Will Hogan Oct 17 '15 at 20:38
