Hi!
When I perform a search with htdig, the Location in the result page shows www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/htsearch.
Is it possible to hide this information and to get a normal url (e.g www.mydomain.com/searchdone.html)?

Hi Simz,


well ... if you use Apache that's pretty easy ... Just enable mod_rewrite and in one single instruction you will have the game setup for you.

Just add in your Apache configuration file (better in a virtual host block):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/searchdone.html$ /cgi-bin/htsearch [NC,L,QSA,PT]
</IfModule>

I am not sure about the exact syntax because I don't have the documentation right now and ... I am in a hurry. But ... Probably this could give you an idea on how to make it. :-)

Also, mod_rewrite is really powerful and it is one of the most incredible features of Apache ... You can do either easy or complex tasks. Just pop here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html

Hope this helps.

Ciao
-Gabriele
