301 redirection remove parameters

Question

I want to redirect this url :

http://loremipsum.com/en/videos?tmpl=component&print=1&page=

to

http://loremipsum.com/videos/all-videos/

So I write this 301 redirection :

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^tmpl=component&print=1&page=$
RewriteRule ^en/videos$ /videos/all-videos/ [L,R=301]

It's redirect but , the url keeps all parameters :

http://loremipsum.com/videos/all-videos/?tmpl=component&print=1&page=

What I want is to remove these parameters.

Thanks for your help !

Solution

If you're using Apache ver 2.4 or later then you can use QSD to discard original query string:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^tmpl=component&print=1&page=$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^en/videos/?$ /videos/toutes-les-videos/ [L,NC,R=301,QSD]

On older Apache versions, you can a trailing ? in the target for the same effect:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^tmpl=component&print=1&page=$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^en/videos/?$ /videos/toutes-les-videos/? [L,NC,R=301]
