Hello, in my project i will need to use
redirect fake pages (SEO url to one page with snippet, wich takes parametrs from url and print custom product page)
sale-product-99.html to index.php?id=35
sale-product-100.html to index.php?id=35
sale-product-101.html to index.php?id=35
How to create diffrerent aliases to one page with snippet?

in .htaccess i'd wrote such line:

^.*sale-product-([0-9]*)\.html$ index.php?id=35 [L]

In system configuration i also need to use friendly url option.

When i try to access to sale-product-99.html modx instead of open index.php?id=35 redirect me to product.html page (product.html is a alias of index.php?id=35), also i notice that first it redirect to index.php?id=35 and then again from index.php?id=35 to alias product.html

Main problem is that i can not specify on which page i can use dynamic url index.php?id=35 and on which use friendly url.
In revo if i try to setup in page parametrs alias to index.php?id=35 it begins to error (cycle redirection).

In modx evo i dont have this problem-because i can access to tha same page as product.html and as index.php?id=35 without redirection to friendly url.
EVO http://infanta.dp.ua/-categ-44-tovar-817.html
http://infanta.dp.ua/-categ-44-tovar-818.html
it's all normally redirected to index.php?id=63 page
and browser and sarch engenies see this page with custom friendly url.

Sorry for my english. Thanks for any help.

UPD
comment line #100 in core/model/modx/modrequest.class.php
//$this->modx->sendRedirect($url, array('responseCode' => 'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently'));

it's seems working properly now. any ideas with possible problems this "modification"? security e.t.c

Uncomment that line again and disable the request_method_strict setting via System > System Settings; that should do the trick as well.

Instead of the htaccess rewrite, I personally prefer using a plugin triggering on OnPageNotFound, something like this:
```
<?php
$search = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$base_url = $modx->getOption('base_url');
if ($base_url != '/') {
    $search = str_replace($base_url,'',$search);
}
$search = trim($search, '/');

$searchExploded = explode('.', $search);
$matchPrefix = 'sale-product-';
$target = 35;

if (substr($search[0], 0, strlen($matchPrefix)) == $matchPrefix) {
  $product = (int)substr($search[0], strlen($matchPrefix));
  if (is_numeric($product)) {
    $_REQUEST['product'] = $product;
    $modx->setPlaceholder('product', $product);
    $modx->sendForward($target);
  }
}
```
And then you can either look at at the $_REQUEST variable in a snippet, or use the [[!+product]] placeholder.
