This concerns the way JRun 2.3.3 and Apache 1.3.12 interact. To those who are not very familiar with apache rewriting rule, here are some explainations The directive RewriteRule ^/torewrite\.html$ rewritted.html [R] causes a client's request for http://mysite/torewrite.html to be redirected to http://mysite/rewritted.html, and the location bar of the browser shows up the new url http://mysite/rewritted.html On the other hand, the directive RewriteRule ^/torewrite\.html$ rewritted.html (without [R] causes a client's request for http://mysite/torewrite.html to be redirected to http://mysite/rewritted.html, but the location bar of the browser still shows the old url http://mysite/torewrite.html As far as I understood the documentation, the first case is called external rewritting, and is equivalent to another request to the rewritted url. Sorry to have been that long, but here is my problem. One of the use of the rewritting rules is to emulate static documents when the real document is dynamic. This works well with cgi, for example. The fact is that spiders are not likely to reference dynamic sites, and do much better with static sites. So I would like to rewrite some generated pages to static names. ie RewriteRule ^/index\..html$ /aoServlet.jrun?param1=value1 This works real fine with the [R] flag (first case above), but not at all without (second case). And so the problem is not solved, because what I wanted was to have index.html written on the client browser when the page that was loaded was generated by aoServlet. To my understanding, this is because the mapping to /servlet/ and to .jrun are done in jrun, and not in apache, but this is perhaps not that. Has anyone encountered and solved this problem ? If someyone out there that has a better understanding of how the jrun connector works could give me any clue of what's happening, I might find a solution by mylself Best regards =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
