AEM: Dispatcher rewriting rule
RewriteRule: ^/(.+)$ /content/brandname/en/$1 [NC,PT,L]
This RewriteRule that matches any request that has at least one character after the initial slash (/). Here’s a breakdown of each part of the rule:
^/: This is the start anchor, which matches the beginning of the URL path.
(.+): This is a capturing group that matches one or more characters. The + means “one or more”, and the . matches any character except for a newline.
$: This is the end anchor, which matches the end of the URL path.
So overall, this part of the rule matches the entire URL path.
The second part of the rule is the substitution string, which is the replacement for the matched URL path. It is /content/brandname/en/$1, which means:
/content/brandname/en/: This is the static prefix for the new URL path.
$1: This is a backreference to the capturing group in the pattern. It represents the characters that were matched by (.+). So whatever comes after the initial slash in the original URL will be appended to the end of this substitution string.
The flags used in this RewriteRule are:
NC: This flag makes the pattern case-insensitive. It means that the rule will match URLs regardless of whether the characters are uppercase or lowercase.
PT: This flag tells Apache to pass the rewritten URL to the next handler in the processing chain. This is…
