[SOLVED] htaccess questions - rewrite & max redirects ?

[Mister Denial]

Hello,

 

I am trying to optimize my htaccess file, and notice on a website on this topic that the author recommends putting this code in the top of the file to avoid a possible infinite loop:

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=10

 

Should I also consider using this in the context of Prestashop 1.4.6.2 and using friendly URLs?

 

Also, is there a better way to write the code below? It seems awfully long, and I would like to clean it, but don't know how to write it.

 

redirect 301 /contents/en-us/d356_gothic-shop-pendants-necklaces.html /6-gothic-necklaces
redirect 301 /contents/en-us/d356_gothic-shop-pendants-necklaces_01.html /6-gothic-necklaces
redirect 301 /contents/en-us/d356_gothic-shop-pendants-necklaces_02.html /6-gothic-necklaces
redirect 301 /contents/en-us/d356_gothic-shop-pendants-necklaces_03.html /6-gothic-necklaces
redirect 301 /contents/en-us/d356_gothic-shop-pendants-necklaces_04.html /6-gothic-necklaces
redirect 301 /contents/en-us/d356_gothic-shop-pendants-necklaces_05.html /6-gothic-necklaces
redirect 301 /contents/en-us/d356_gothic-shop-pendants-necklaces_06.html /6-gothic-necklaces
redirect 301 /contents/en-us/d356_gothic-shop-pendants-necklaces_07.html /6-gothic-necklaces
redirect 301 /contents/en-us/d356_gothic-shop-pendants-necklaces_08.html /6-gothic-necklaces
redirect 301 /contents/en-us/d356_gothic-shop-pendants-necklaces_09.html /6-gothic-necklaces

 

Help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
