.htaccess ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS - dilanwijerathne - 06-17-2015
I want to detect Internet explora 8 or lower version of Internet explora and redirect Internet explora agents to another view.
I tried to do that like this
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "MSIE [6-8]" [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/sample.html
RewriteRule .* /sample.html [R]
it does work but when I try to redirect it to a view inside codeIgnitor, it dooes not work and it gives
" ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS "
then how can I perform this ?
my view is located in application/views/IEView.php
how can I redirect it properly ?
Appreciate any help

First, you should perform the redirect in .htaccess or CodeIgniter, not both.
Second, you need to redirect to a controller/method, not a view; or simply load a different view for the user agent rather than redirecting.
If you are redirecting, you need to make sure you aren't performing another redirect when the user comes into the site after being redirected. A redirect tells the browser to go to another URL, which means your application is going to start over again with the same user requesting the new URL.

Can you give me a sample ?

I tried like this calling controller
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|public|\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "MSIE [6-8]" [NC]
RewriteRule .* /secPay/doc [R]
but it does not work
it gives error like this
This webpage has a redirect loop
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
how can I solve this ?

PHP Code:
$viewName = 'nonIeView';
$this->load->library('user_agent');
if ($this->agent->is_browser('Internet Explorer')) {
// Does the version require a different view?
// Note: this code is untested and should be replaced with whatever makes sense to you.
$version = $this->agent->version();
if ($version !== '') {
$version = substr($version, 0, 1);
if (in_array($version, array('6', '7', '8'))) {
$viewName = 'IEView';
}
}
}
$this->load->view($viewName);
