Is there any possibility to have htaccess 301 Redirects with absolute paths? – WordPress

i wondering if there is any way to have redirects like

Redirect 301 https://www.mypage.com/test https://www.mypage.com

as background: i need this because i have a website with 3 different languages and each language runs on a different domain. If I’m doing /test with an relativ path it will affect each of my domains but i only want to have the redirect for one specific domain.

i was trying it as i showed in my example but it was then no longer working.
i also was trying it with RewriteCond for my apache directives but it was also not working with absolute paths

    In this case you need write a RewriteCond, as follow example:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /test1
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com/test1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /test2
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com/test2/$1 [R=301,L]

    Redirect 301 https://www.mypage.com/test https://www.mypage.com

    The mod_alias Redirect directive matches against the URL-path only.

    You need to use mod_rewrite to check the Host header using the HTTP_HOST server variable in a condition (RewriteCond directive). For example:

    RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^test$ https://www.example.com/ [R=302,L]

    The RewriteRule pattern (first argument) is a regex that matches against the URL-path only (similar to the Redirect directive, except there is no slash prefix when used in .htaccess).

    The above will issue 302 (temporary) redirect from https://www.example.com/test (HTTP or HTTPS) to https://www.example.com/.

    If you are redirecting to the same hostname then you don’t necessarily need to include the scheme+hostname in the substitution string (2nd argument to the RewriteRule directive). For example, the following is the same as above*1:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^test$ / [R=302,L]

    (*1 Unless you have UseCanonicalName On set in the server config and ServerName is set to something other than the requested hostname.)

    Note that the above matches www.example.com exactly (the = prefix operator on the CondPattern makes it a lexicographic string comparison).

    To match example.com or www.example.com (with an optional trailing dot, ie. FQDN) then use a regex instead. For example:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www.)?(example.com) [NC]
RewriteRule ^test$ https://www.%1/foo [R=302,L]

    Where %1 is a backreference to the first captured group in the preceding CondPattern (ie. example.com). So, the above will redirect https://example.com (or www.example.com) and redirect to https://www.example.com/foo (always www).
