: Redirection to load a CSS file I have in a remote server with this index.html that I can not modify: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" /> But my styles.css file

@Hamaas447

Just as an alternative to the .htaccess rules, you could include a styles.css file in the root, and just put @import statements in there that load the actual css files. Something like this:

/styles.css
@import 'css/styles1.css'; @import 'css/styles2.css';
...


I know it is an extra request and definitely not best practice, but it should be cached, and is a flexible and easy solution.

Although the browser should cache permanent redirects, I think an internal rewrite would be preferable. This avoids the browser having to make an additional HTTP request:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+.css)$ /css/ [L]

You could just redirect /styles.css to /css/styles.css. In the .htaccess in the web root:

RedirectMatch permanent /([a-z]+.css)$ example.com/css/

(Replacing example.com with your real domain name.)
