Hi Brand,
Thanks for your quick response.

Yes, A4D is configured that way - see below. > >The other problem appears to be with the syntax of the URL you are >redirecting too.

current rules RewriteEngine On RewriteRule (.*)html http://192.168.3.4:8000/4DCGI$1html [P] RewriteRule (.*)4d http://192.168.3.4:8000/4DCGI$14d [P] RewriteRule (.*)([0-9]+) http://192.168.3.4:8000/4DCGI/Buying/ detail.html$ListID=$1 [P]
As you can see I tried your suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work. But I think I know what it could be.
In the first two rules everything represented by "(.*)" goes into $1 and will be rewritten.
Question is now: How can I pass everything after "(.*)" in a query parameter?
If you look at your third rule ([0-9]+) would match any sequence of numbers and should go into $2. The parens in the regular expresssion in the rewrite rule define replacement patterns. Recalling your original post, this is the ID you want to pass to Active4D, right? Also if apache is running on a different server than Active4D the contents of $1 is probably the apache server's host.
Also make sure the replacement patterns don't start at $0.
Do you have anyway to trace the rewrite (or dump it to a log) to see what it is doing? You might find more knowledgable help on an Apache mailing list or discussion forum.
best,
Brad
