If the browser is still being redirected, it could be that your script is doing the redirect. One way to tell would be to watch the http headers during the redirect and see if php advertises itself (x-Powered-By or whatever it is) on the 3xx response. http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/WatchingHttpHeaders > I also tried with > RewriteRule ^post/(.*).htm http://mysite.com/post.php?id=$1 [L] > I got this URL: http://mysite.com//post.php/005.htm?id=005 This one is equivalent to the first, because using a full url in the target implies a 3xx redirect. -- noodl --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
