[users@httpd] Using mod_rewrite to control the browser address barWhat Controls What's in a Browser's Address Bar?
Now my named virtual host is working correctly, I've another problem,
and I think this is an easy one. It's just a matter of what "flavor,"
if you will, of the directive to use.
On the site hosting the A-record for my server, the A-record address
is what shows up in the address bar of a browser when I browse to the
URL of the named virtual host--i.e., I browse to
http://www.example.com but the address that shows up in the address
bar when I get there is the one in the A-record (e.g., 11.22.33.44),
making the address bar show "http://11.22.33.44/". I'm thinking
mod_rewrite fixes this, right? If so, which of the several ways of
using it will do the substitution of 11.22.33.44 with www.example.com?
Also, how do I find out for certain if the mod_rewrite module is even
installed and loaded? I don't find a .load file for it in
mods-enabled, making me think it might not be installed.
Thanks again and as always for any and all assistance.

Yeah. The whole thing is a bloody mess! Will work it out later this
morning. I wonder why my FF shows the raw IP address but yours
doesn't. Strange.

It doesn't change for me, using Firefox 33.0.3 on Windows 7.
Some links do work (Preview / About Us), but on another domain:
http://equaleyesradio.gandi.ws/about-us-page-3
Hope this helps...

Oh how strange. In Internet Explorer, you're right, but in Firefox, it
shows the IP address. Wonder how *THAT* is.

The URL in my browser doesn't change when I load that page.
wget is a client, you can run it anywhere that can connect to your
server over HTTP.

It changes from the very first access request. Go to
http://www.equaleyesradio.com and see what I am talking about. None of
the links work because the person who provided the HTML didn't, but
that's another unrelated problem.
>Can you capture the output with wget -S ?
I could try. I'm not familiar with using wget in this capacity,
although I do use it to capture audio streams sometimes. Is that done
on the server side or the browser side?

What normally happens is whatever URL you type simply stays there. It
only changes if you redirect or click on a non-relative link.
On what URL does yours change, http://www.example.com or some later request?
Can you capture the output with wget -S ?

I think Rewrite is overkill.
Perhaps something like CanonicalName is better:
