You cannot.

What problem are you trying to solve?

I have a setting on the website to go to the frontpage if page is not found.

So when the user comes with the url- myshop/category/ he is redirected to the fontpage and can not see the products or categories.

Shouldn't it do 301 redirect to myshop/category because for content pages I get that functionality, if i go to myshop/aboutus/ it gives 301 redirect to myshop/aboutus

Maybe it should.

But would your users get to myshop/category/ if you never published that URL?

Anyways - changed Dynamicweb so it behaves the same when using extension less URLs - so anything ending with / is 301'ed to same URL without /

Out in 8.5

Ok thanks, one more question:

I installed isapirewrite because I want to redirect some pages but when the page is not found it redirects me with the query string and it gives me issues.

for example

RewriteRule /test /webshop [NC,R=301,L]

when I go to /test I get this /webshop?404%3bhttp://myshop/test           and for some reason I get 404 even thourh it is a vaild url (webshop)

I noticed there is direct path module, and I could use it if it supported regex (I have a lot of dynamic content to redirect so writing it manually is not an optoin).

Can I use regex in direct paths, and if not, is there a way to fix 301 redirects not to include query string?

Thanks in advance. 

Direct path does not support regex currently.

Which version are you running on? If I go to myshop/somethingThatDoesNotExist I just get a normal 404.

The version is  8.3.1.8.

I get a normal 404 for normal pages, but when I have a redirect in isapirewrite for a specific page, something like

RewriteRule /test /somethingThatDoesNotExist [NC,R=301,L]

and I visiti myshop/test, I get redirected correctly to somethingThatDoesNotExist but with the query string somethingThatDoesNotExist?404%3bhttp://myshop/test and in that case even if  somethingThatDoesNotExist page exists on the server it will still give me 404.

Can't help... Do not know where it comes from.
