I have a small job that involves small revisions to my current setup. **_The Job: _** Replace an existing Meta Refresh Redirect on a Website with a Server Side Redirect (by CGI or other means), while preserving functionality of existing php scripts. Existing php scripts (about 4 lines each) and .htaccess files may or may not need to be revised, depending on how you execute the redirect. It requires knowledge of programming server side redirects (possibly CGI/PERL depending on the solution), as well as php, and .htaccess. **_How my existing script setup works: _** Specifically, one of the php scripts receives a keyword variable from a Pay Per Click ad on Site A and embeds the keyword to all links on the landing page on Site B, for example: [[login to view URL]][1] From this page, a user clicks on this normal-looking link to go to Site C. However, the user is first sent to a page that embeds the keyword into the actual affiliate network URL via another php script, and a Meta Refresh redirect occurs that redirects the surfer to Site C with the keyword embedded. The main purpose of this setup is to track keyword usage through to the sale and to disguise the on-page link from looking like an affiliate link. All of this is already working via php scripts, .htaccess commands, and Meta Refresh redirects that I already have. However, I want to ELIMINATE the Meta Refresh redirect that currently exists and replace it with a _**Server Side Redirect that is more SEO-friendly.**_ My understanding is that a server-side CGI solution works well for this, but I will leave it to you to develop the best solution. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). - I need quick (5 day or less) turnaround on this, which should be easy, as the job is small and most of the programming is already completed. - The solution must NOT use Meta Refresh Redirects and MUST use a Server Side Redirect. - The new Server Side Redirect solution MUST work with my existing php scripts. The existing php scripts and .htaccess files can be lightly modified to work with the new server side redirect. - My current php scripts allow me to have my landing pages in the root directory OR a subdirectory of my site - for example, landing pages would work in the following URL structures: [[login to view URL]][2] [[login to view URL] ][3][[login to view URL]][4] The new Server Side Redirect must allow me to maintain this URL structure flexibility, with minor adjustments on my part, depending on where I want to put my landing pages. ## Platform Must work on typical webhost setup running Linux with Apache Web Server
