X-Robots noindex specific page in .htaccess
.htaccess, http-headers, nofollow, noindex, x-robots-tag
Solution
It seems to be impossible to match the request parameters from within a .htaccess file. Here is a list of what you can match against: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/sections.html
It will be much easier to do it in your script. If you are running on PHP try:
header('X-Robots-Tag: noindex, follow');
You can easily build conditions on $_GET, REQUEST_URI and so on.
Problem
Can I 'noindex, follow' a specific page using x robots in .htaccess? I've found some instructions for noindexing types of files, but I can't find instruction to noindex a single page, and what I have tried so far hasn't worked. This is the page I'm looking to noindex: ``` http://www.examplesite.com.au/index.php?route=news/headlines ``` This is what I have tried so far: ``` <FilesMatch "/index.php?route=news/headlines$"> Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex, follow" </FilesMatch> ``` Thanks for your time.
