Mod_ReWrite: Unwanted redirect

Question

Mod_Rewrite is redirecting.

RewriteRule ^viewPage/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /viewPage.php?ID=$1&Title=$2 [NC,L]

Typing in

www.domain/viewPage/123/abc/

is returning back

www.domain/viewPage.php?ID=123&Title=abc

I don't want the page to redirect from www.domain/viewPage/123/abc/ to www.domain/viewPage.php?ID=123&Title=abc.

Answer 1

Strange:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^viewPage/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /viewPage.php?ID=$1&Title=$2 [NC,L]

You say you don't want a redirect, and that's what it does actually. With the rule above, the URL is changed internally = only on the server side, there's no redirect, the URL of the client won't change.

So maybe you didn't provide the full rewrite rules, and there's a problem somewhere else, where you do a redirect. Please search for the option [R,L] with an R like Redirect.
