[PT,L] is not allowing caching. Seems like mod_cache treats it as a dynamic file, because of the query string. I may have to live with the redirection option [R=301,L] unless there are some other alternatives that I can try out. At least mod_cache is able to cache the redirected url as it does not have a query string anymore. But there is round trip involved from the browser.
To Nick's question, the links are coming in the body of a JSP file, where a javascript is loading these XML files for some processing at browser end. I can give mod_substitute a try do modify the JSP output to tamper these links, but it would involve looking at the contents of each request searching for this pattern. It might cause a negative impact on performance. I have no idea of ProxyHTMLURLMap, so not sure how to try that option. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2012 11:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [users@httpd] How to strip out the query parameter for specific URLs using mod_rewrite?

Just change the last line to the following (to use Pass-Through, instead of Redirecting with a specific status code): RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_URI}? [PT,L] P.S. I can't speak to Nick Kew's comments (I don't use mod_cache), so you'll just have to test this and see if it works for your purposes.
