Apache - redirecting to same URL but with query string appended

Question

I'm trying to do a rewrite rule on Apache where it rewrites the url to append a query string to the end:

http://example.org/page1.aspx

goes to

http://example.org/page1.aspx?query=12345

Problem is when I apply this rule:

RewriteRule ^\/page1.aspx$ http://example.org.aspx?query12345 [NC,L,R=301]

I end up getting a redirect loop.

Any help would be much appreciated!

You need to use a condition to check if query string is empty first:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^/?page1\.aspx$ %{REQUEST_URI}?query=12345 [NC,L,R=301]

Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing this.
