Disable redirect for iframe using javascript

Question

I have htacess code that redirects

http://website.com:352/pictures/1 to another page.

I would like to prevent this redirect if the request is in iframe src. Is this possible?

<iframe src="http://website.com:352/pictures/1" style="border: none; width:100%; height:1100px;"></iframe>

The server doesn't care if its an iframe or not, htaccess is sending it on its way. If you find a solution later down the line while being able to keep the code in the htaccess, please answer your own question as this sounds like a neat one — Jesse

Somewhat relevant to your need, but as source says, not reliable -> stackoverflow.com/questions/4500939/… — Jesse

I just read what you linked for referer. How could it be applied in this case? — Sam Kingston

The Referrer is an absolutely unreliable variable. Forget that it exists. — C3roe

This would be easiest to solve, if you appended a query string to your iframe src, such as http://website.com:352/pictures/1?noredirect, and then checked for the existence of that value in the query string before doing the rewriting, via a RewriteCond before your RewriteRule. — C3roe

You can do that by adding a request header to the request and then check in your htaccess file for that header and make the redirect if the header does not exist.

However, to add a request header to the iframe, you need to make a workaround by creating AJAX request that and appending the results to the iframe You can check this answer that explains how to do that: How to set custom http headers when changing iframe src?
