rewrite url

can you rewrite a URL for whatever.com/any/any.html to whatever.com

So whatever page someone is viewing, in their address bar it will display whatever.com

any help would be great!!

Thanks

I assumed you are not talking about frame page, that can be done using Proxy -> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_proxy.html

A more appropriate way is to display http://www.whatever.com/page.php?path=xx&page=yy

can you rewrite a URL for whatever.com/any/any.html to whatever.com

I do not want the current page
ex: whatever.com/any/any.html to be displayed in the address bar. I want it to remain whatever.com no matter what page they are viewing. Hope fully without using frames.

Site is on a unix box with apache version 1.3. All my pages are either html or cgi.

I thought you could do this using mod_rewrite. Please let me know if you know of any good resources. I have looked on apache.org. Maybe I'm just missing it.

Thanks for any help

As I said, start here -> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_proxy.html

AFAIK, you can't use mod_rewrite to rewrite the URL of http://www.whatever.com/ and (internally redirect) to the appropriate page. However, you can do it with http://www.whatever.com/x?1 (with query string) or http://www.whatever.com/x/1/. That said, there must be at least some relative URL (string or path), not the domain URL itself.
