400 Bad Request with Symfony2 and html5boilerplate redirect rules

Question

I've recently moved over to using the Symfony2 PHP framework, and wanted to include all of the awesomeness of the html5boilerplate from the outset, however having a few problems with merging the .htaccess files for both.

The top three are from boilerplate; redirecting from www.example.com to example.com, example.com/test to example.com/test/, and restricting access to any folders prepended with a . (.git, for example).

The final is Symfony2's rewrite for the front end controller. I'd like this to be accessed if no other redirects happen (so example.com/hello/ should reach it).

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/|#(.*))$
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteRule "(^|/)\." - [F]
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

If the last rewrite is commented, Apache returns a 400 Bad Request, and I'm not quite sure why.. The redirect are set to external (R=301) so it should re-evaluate, and get to the app.php one.

Rewrite is already set to on as well.

Any suggestions would be great, not much of a rewrite buff =(

I tried with your config and had no problem to reach my Symfony2 setup.

Try to redirect your requests to app_dev.php instead of app.php so you can track the real error.

Or am I missunderstanding your question?

Tried the config without any of the extra html5boilerplate config, you're right, it does work. Think the problem is separate to the redirects. Thanks =) will keep searching for the cause, not to do with the above though. – domudall May 31 '11 at 12:57

I'm not 100% sure what the problem/question is, but have you tried...

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on

  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/|#(.*))$
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

  RewriteRule "(^|/)\." - [F]

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Already tried unfortunately, the issue is with the request when the final block is put on. 400 Bad Request is returned.. Think its to do with the HTTP steps as a whole. – domudall May 31 '11 at 03:10
