Redirection purpose failing in-spite of using .htaccess file.

Hi! all,

I hope one of you will come to my help.

I am working on .htaccess file and wish to redirect the control on
matching a pattern to a different server than on which i am working
on. For ex:-

On sending request to http://www.myfirstdomain.com/folder/abc.php?id=1&name=xyz
, the control should be redirected to http://www.myseconddomain.com/folder/abc.php?id=1&di=2
without changing the URL address. I mean i wish to have a Basic
Redirect and not Forcing New Request.

The setting/configuration written by me are as follow:

## if mod_rewrite existing.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

# Rules for rewriting URLS.
RewriteRule ^folder/(.*)$ http://www.myseconddomain.com/folder/$1


The strange part is that if i redirect to the local file, then URL
address does not get changed, but when redirected to different domain,
URL address do get changed.

Hope for early response....

That's by all means the way it is made to be.

While
RewriteRule ^folder/(.*)$ whatever

only changes the mapping of the matching URL to a local file

RewriteRule ^folder/(.*)$ http://www.myseconddomain.com/folder/$1

will tell the browser to retry elsewhere.
The browser is then just showing the URL retrieved.

Maybe you want something like this instead:

ProxyPass /folder/ http://www.myseconddomain.com/folder/

Hi! HansH,

Thanks for your response.

But if the URL does get changed, is there any trick or technique to
not let the end user know that they are accessing some other site than
what they accessed originally?

Hi! phantom,

Thanks for replying, but it would very great of you if you can explain
this in more detail or provide an useful link for the same.
