title: How to bypass the .htaccess file in php?
body: <p>I use a crawling software to create my xml file to submit automatically to search engines, and a redirection command creates an issue with this software. I tried different solutions. None was working, so my latest idea was to ask the program to bypass the .htaccess file. I would like to know how to do it in php.</p>
  
  <p>If it is not possible, this is the line that creates problem (because of the dash in the domain name).</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.art\-svp\.com\/m\/1" [R=301,L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried it without the \ before the - : same issue.</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.art-svp\.com\/m\/1" [R=301,L]
  </code></pre>
