Hello, I'm updating my .htaccess file and not seeing results on my site, I've cleared cache and not sure what I am missing. Here is a sample line from my .htaccess file:
```
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} market=([tampa]) [NC]
RewriteRule ^things-to-do(.*)$ /tampa/things-to-do$1 [L,R=301]
```
Basically, if someone comes to my site and types "http://www.mysite.com/things-to-do" (or even http://www.mysite/things-to-do/windsurfing etc) it will insert their location to the URL to read http://www.mysite.com/tampa/things-to-do ( http://www.mysite/things-to-do/windsurfing etc)

Friendly URLs are working fine on my site, and looking at my current .htaccess file I don't think I have to escape any of those characters. Is there an extra MODX step I'm missing to get the .htaccess file working? Thank you.

OK, I somewhat figured out my issue, I had the rewrite rules at the bottom of my htaccess file, and when I moved them above the friendly urls part it started to work.

The only problem I am having now is that the cookies are sometimes setting to an incorrect value, so maybe deleting my cache folder in core might fix that.
