I have a need to redirect a url externally then use that same path internally and I'm getting into a redirection loop. Which makes sense, but there must be a way to do this.... For example, I need to redirect this URL: example.com/content/foo/en_us/bar/baz.html which is the full path to a product details page. But we want to remove part of that path to: example.com/foo/bar/baz.html Currently both paths work in the configuration. But I want to 301 redirect users that are using the full path to the newer, and then access that content on the full path. So basically I want to redirect the user externally to the newer path and then access the content on its full path via httpd.conf Any ideas..?
