Rewrite rule to return status 200 for certain URLs





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I want URLs with a specific path to return an automatic 200 status response. I have tried the below, but get a an error when I try to start Apache:



First error: RewriteCond: bad flag delimiters



RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} GET /the_url/
RewriteRule ^ - [R=200]


If I remove the path part then I do not get the error:



RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} GET
RewriteRule ^ - [R=200]


But, of course, I need a way to include the path requirement.



Another error is that, even when the server does return a status 200 above (verified in Developer Tools), then the page still displays an error message: "OK The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request...." Is it not really returning a status 200? Or is it, but this is just what the default HTML page is when nothing is provided by the server?

          The following did the trick. From https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/custom-error.html



          Enable the mod_rewrite module



          LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so


          and then add the following to your virtual host.



          ErrorDocument 200 "ok"
          RewriteEngine On
          RewriteRule "/the_url/" - [R=200]


          EDIT:



          My original answer has been edited so much by someone else that it is no longer quite the same. I'll leave the edited answer (above), but I did not have to enable the mod_rewrite module. Some Linux distributions come with this by default or your host might have provided it as their default starting point. I added the three lines to httpd.conf.
