My experiences over the past couple years using Apache's
mod_rewrite have been invaluable for solving problems like
this. This is a very powerful, flexible tool that you can
easily turn on/off as needed, adjust it to fit any
directory/file location, file type, environment variable
or other condition. It has been even more useful since
having to SSL-enable my site (either in part or entirely)
this year.
