[Mediawiki-l] Apache rewrite rule with proxy flag fail to work for mediawiki service

[Chau Chee Yang]

I am testing on the apache rewrite rules with mediawiki.

I wish to include a wiki service under a namespace of my domain.

For example:

  http://mylan/wiki/Country

will show content of

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country

My rule in .htaccess is

  RewriteRule ^/?wiki/(.*)$ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1 [P]

Access the URL from browser:

  http://mylan/wiki/Country

will show the content from wikipedia but the URL will switch to

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country

I expect the URL remain as

  http://mylan/wiki/Country

Please advise on how to make it works.

Thank you.
