I need to implement vanity url's on our web site, partly because they look "prettier" but more importantly because Google doesn't seem to like links that end in ".pgm" (many of our pages on our IBM iSeries are written using Websmart ILE and the program suffix is ".pgm"). I am halfway there, I think, but I am not sure if I am doing this right, and I still find taking examples of htaccess redirects and applying them to what I am trying to achieve pretty complicated. All the page links are coded correctly and are going to the right place, but the browser is showing the resulting url, not the link that is clicked on. Hopefully someone can help to steer me in the right direction if I explain what we have... The resulting link needs to be: http://www.mydomain.com/prodpage.pgm?name=750ml Orange Line Marker Spray Paint&item=41912 The vanity link should be: http://www.mydomain.com/product/41912/750ml Orange Line Marker Spray Paint I have this working using the following in .htaccess: RewriteRule product/(.*)/(.*) http://www.mydomain.com/prodpage.pgm?name=$2&item=$1 [L] However... the url that shows in the browser is the resulting link. I need it to be the link that is clicked on. Any thoughts please. I have tried lots of things but nothing seems to give the desired result.
