mod_rewrite several conditions - .htaccess

I'm not an expert with working with mod_rewrite and I would like to ask if these rules are properly constructed?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(pl|en)/([^/]+)\.html$ index.php?page=$2&lang=$1 [L]
I was just about to the last rule add a rule that will open a page with www.
I do not really know if it is made correctly (of course, everything works fine, but wanting to make sure that does not commit any error).

RewriteRule in .htaccess and Reverse Proxy

Here is my problem, I`m struggling with it for a few days.
We`ve got a domain firstpart.maindomanin.com nad subdomain secondpart.maindomain.com.
Under first domain there is a first part of the project (based on SaaS commerce) and second part (under secondpart.maindomain.com) - based on Symfony. Those two parts are connected through SOAP services etc.
For firstpart.maindoman.com we are using Cloudflare.
We`ve got reverse proxy so:
firstpart.maindomain.com/uk/made is pointed to secondpart.maindomain.com/uk
and now (we cant enable cloudflare secondpart.maindomain.com due to some unrelated issues) we want to redirect all url-s from secondpart.maindomain.com/uk to firstpart.maindomain.com/uk/made
so for example
secondpart.maindomain.com/uk/furniture to firstpart.maindomain.com/uk/made/furniture
secondpart.maindomain.com/uk/sales to firstpart.maindomain.com/uk/made/sales
etc.
so we need to change domain and add 'made' between language code and rest of url
Other than that we need to redirect all urls like
firstpart.maindomain.com/uk/furniture to firstpart.maindomain.com/uk/made/furniture
(add 'made' between language code and rest of url)
and we need to do it in htaccess under subdomain secondpart.maindomain.com.
I came up with something with:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} secondpart.maindomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2,3})(.*)$ http://firstpart.maindomain.com/$1/made$2 [R=301,L]
and for url like
secondpart.maindomain.com/uk/furniture
I`m getting redirection to
http://firstpart.maindomain.com/uk/made/furniture
which is fine but after redirection there is infinite loop (so except changing urls is not working)
As it turned out HTTP_HOST for both firstpart.maindomain.com/uk/made and secondpart.maindomain.com/uk is the same and it is secondpart.maindomain.com so condition is not working.
I came up also with condition like
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^made [NC]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2,3})(.*)$ http://firstpart.maindomain.com/$1/made$2 [R=301,L]
so condition is not met if there is a word 'made' inside URI and in this case it is the same as in first rule.
I tried several different configurations but nothing is working.
When i tested it with http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ everything was fine and there was not redirection.
So im assuming there is something with reverse proxy on cloudflare.
Im not an expert in htaccess but really i tried a lot of solutions and nothing is working.
I would really appreciate some help with it.
P.S. Just in case here is a .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2,3})(.*)$ http://vendauat.lauraashley.com/$1/made$2 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)/(.*)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^app\.php(/(.*)|$) %{ENV:BASE}/$2 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule .? - [L]
RewriteRule .? %{ENV:BASE}/app.php [L]
</IfModule>
This condition:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^made [NC]
will always be met because your regex pattern says: if the request never starts with made, but the %{REQUEST_URI} variable always starts with /. Maybe what you want is this instead:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[^/]+/made/

Rewrite specific URL to different directory

Im trying to redirect this,
example.com/slide?page=4 to example.com/slide/issue43?page=4
But it cannot effect other URL's like, example.com/slide/issue57?page=4
Im really stuck, these regular expressions are so weird. Here's the rewriterule that I've come up with,
This is not working
RewriteRule ^slide?page(.*)$ http://example.com/slide/issue43?page=$1 [L,R=301]
I need to target 'slide?page=X' specifically and have it redirect or point to 'slide/issue43?page=X'
This should work for you:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/slide$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*) /slide/issue57?page=%1 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule [L] still changing the url

I found myself with this problem, which is driving me a little bit crazy. I use apache's mod_rewrite for pretty URLs and I need to use dynamic subdomains in the site. Everything is great and all the server has de wildcards. I use the next code on my .htacess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mysite.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+).mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/%1 [L]
The only problem is, even if I use the [L] flag the url of the site change to http://mysite.com/subdomain. What i want is the url to be like http://subdomain.mysite.com
The link mysite.com/subdomain is a dynamic url and is solved with another rule with the following code:
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)$ filter.php?type=subdomain&subdomain=$1
Any help would be appreciated
If you specify an external URL (which changing the subdomain does), a header redirect will take place. I don't think you can prevent that. But why not skip that step altogether, and use the second RewriteRule straight away?
I can't test this right now, but something like
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mysite.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+).mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ filter.php?type=subdomain&subdomain=$1
should work.

htaccess redirect not working as expected

I know I am missing something simple, but I can't get this redirect to work right. I have a parked domain that I want to redirect to the main domain. I am using:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^parked-domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.main-domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
The problem is that parked-domain.com/anypage.html redirects to main-domain.com and leaves off the rest of the URL. I need parked-domain.com/anypage.html to redirect to main-domain.com/anypage.html
EDIT
I am sure this is a cache thing with my browser but after I tried the first suggestion then changed it back, now I get this:
parked-domain.com/anypage.html redirects to www.main-domain.com/anypage.html
but
www.parked-domain.com/anypage.html does not redirect at all.
Part of the problem was with the cache, that got part of the redirect working. I ended up using this to get it all forwarding properly:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^parked-domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.main-domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.parked-domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.main-domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
The first one should have worked for all cases, but it didn't. Adding the second redirect fixed it.
Try removing the ^ $ around your (.*)
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.main-domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Htaccess non-www and strip index.php in a nice way

I'm having some trouble with my .htaccess redirections.
I want a situation in which the (non-www)domain.tld is redirected to the www.domain.tld. And I want to rewrite the arguments to skip the index.php, making a request for /foo go to index.php/foo.
Initial situation
First I had these rules
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.tld [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.tld/$1 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_\ /:-]*)$ index.php [L]
And this worked. Mostly. What didn't work was that in PHP $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] stayed empty and I disliked the whitelisting of the characters.
Change for PATH_INFO and to accept more
So I changed the last line into this:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
This fixed the PATH_INFO and the limited characters. However, I recently noticed that this caused the non-www redirect to www. to fail miserably.. When going to the non-www domain Apache says
Moved Permanently
The document has moved here.
Where 'here' is linked to the same thing I typed (non-www domain.tld) and thus failing to serve the user.
Continuing the search..
I found a lot of Q&A here and elsewhere or the topic of non-www redirections, but all seem to fail in some way. For example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/.+www\/(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301]
This just didn't do that much. Nothing got redirected, although the website was served on the non-www.
Anyone knowing what I do wrong or having a solution for this mess? :)
(Preferably, I would like the non-www redirection to be global. So that I don't have to change the actual domain name every time.)
I guess you’re just missing the L flag to end the rewriting process:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
And make sure to put this rule in front of those rules that just cause an internal rewrite.
