We also use it for making sure that the spider we use does not create files with jsessionid in the file names. One thing to be aware of is that the list of valid characters for a JBoss jsession id can include "-", "+" and "*". We use the following: RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (AESpider) [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (googlebot) [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (MSNBot) [NC] RewriteRule ^([^;]+);jsessionid=[A-Za-z0-9\-\+\*]+\.[A-Za-z0-9]+(.*)$ $1$2 [L,R=301] Andrew Thanks for the example for rewriting the urls for Google.
