Absolute URL for Source URL

Redirection can only redirect from the domain it is running from, therefore absolute URLs make no sense and it removes everything apart from the path.

What about homepage ?

Hi John, thanks for this great tool!!

Do you know if it′s possible to make some kind of redirection specifying not only the path but also the domain of the old urls?

I need it because I am moving from a Joomla multi-domain website to a WordPress multi-domain website and I have some identical paths in the old website like these:

https://www.doamin.com/news.html
https://www.domain.fr/news.html

So a simple redirect like below, always send me to the .com which is the main domain in the hosting. (even when should redirect from and to the the french domain)

Redirect 301 /news.html https://www.domain.com/category/news/
Redirect 301 /news.html https://www.domain.fr/category/nouvelles/

At this moment the old joomla site is at the ftp root and the new wordpress site is in a production subfolder but I have to delete the oldsite and move the new one to the root..
I would need to have the htaccess managing the redirections of all the pages from the oldsite to the new one. I have no problems with the old urls with different paths, but, what can I do with the urls with the same path?

I only have one htaccess, since both domains are mangaged from a single CMS installation. (Old joomla site managed the domains with Joomfish plugin and the new wp site manage the domains with WPML).

Thank you!!
