.htaccess get lost query string

Question

I have limited .htaccess knowledge and i am requiring some help. I need to do some redirects to enable pretty urls. In local all works fine but it is not working in another develpment server. apparently the query string get drop when redirect. i need to redirect this http://mysite.local/info/permalink/1

to this one http://mysite.local/info?proxy=true&id=1

my .htaccess code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#remove /index.php from home url and redirect to root.
#http://mysite.local/index.php -> http://mysite.local/ 
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*\/index\.php?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php?$ "/$1" [R=301,L,QSA]

#pretty url without index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php [PT,QSA,L]

#rewrite to handle some permalink saved on my db.
#http://mysite.local/info/permalink/1
#http://mysite.local/info/proxy=true&id=1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/info/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([0-9]+) /info/?proxy=true&id=$3 [L]
</IfModule>

the redirect is working but the query string is not present. When I run var_dump($_GET) on info module i am getting an empty array array(0) {} i have try it to solve changing

RewriteRule .* index.php [PT,QSA,L]

to RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

and

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/info/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([0-9]+) /info/?proxy=true&idobj=$3 [L]

to

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/info/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([0-9]+) /info/?proxy=true&idobj=$3 [QSA,NE,L]

Server API is CGI/FastCGI

What should I change to ensure that my rewrite works as intended and $_GET variables still are accessible? thx in advance

I have no idea how you've managed to get this to work with a regex pattern like: ^([^/]+)/info if the URL you are going to is /info/permalink/1.

The ^([^/]+)/info pattern means there's stuff before the /info part of the URI, which there isn't. Additionally, in an htaccess file, the URI's have the leading forward slash stripped off. So you probably want something like this:

RewriteRule ^info/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([0-9]+) /info/?proxy=true&id=$2 [L]
