[users@httpd] Apache2 ReWriting without redirect...

[Norman Peelman <np...@cfl.rr.com>]

  Is it possible to do this. Some bulletin software don't like (won't accept) a redirect.

Some sofware wants hxxp://www.mysite.com/file.jpg
I ReWrite to hxxp://www.mysite.com/myscript.php?var=file

My script outputs file as if it were called directly but some bulletin software still won't accept the URL.
I cannot call file.jpg directly as it is stored in a database.

Try:
Alias /file.jpg /full/path/to/myscript.php?var=file

I'm not sure if this will work, due to the query string.  If it
doesn't, you'll need to use

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/file.jpg /myscript.php?var=file
