[users@httpd] internal redirect?

[Octavian Rasnita <or...@fcc.ro>]

Hi,

Is it possible to configure Apache to redirect from

http://www.site.com/

to:

http://www.site.com/file

but the redirection to be made internally and not by sending the HTTP
redirection headers.

(The browser should still display http://www.site.com/)

I have seen that if I use something like:

redirect / http://www.site.com/file

...then all the requests to any file will be redirected to /file and I don't
want this.

I have also tried:

redirect /index.html http://www.site.com/file

This method works but only if /file is a common file. However, in my case
/file is just a virtual path which runs a mod_perl handler configured like
below:

<Location /file>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Test
</Location>

Thank you much.

Teddy

You can probably get what you want simply by using <LocationMatch ^/$>
rather than <Location /file>.
