I would like to block a couple of URLs if they match a regular expression in the htaccess file.
These are the URLs I want to block in htaccess.
Anything that contains the following in the URL pattern:
All case insensitive, please note that the "mp4:" must include the colon to match the expression.
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks!
I hope this is what you are looking for, example
RedirectMatch users/(.+) http://www.exapmles.com/profiles/$1 [R=301,L]

In your case you should add multiple lines! :)
This should work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*(wp-content)|(phpMyAdmin)|(mp4:).* [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]
Then a Forbidden message will be displayed for urls containing such string. e.g.:
You don't have permission to access /foomp4:bar/ on this server.
