mod rewrite works but. changes back to old URL

[loganz]

i just switched hosts and for some reason my mod_rewrite is acting weird.

here is what i have now

RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ [mydomain.com...] [L]

i have links that are written as:
[mydomain.com...]

but when i click it, it goes to that page but the url switches back to:
[mydomain.com...]

everything seems to be working fine, just the URL changes back to its old form

any idea what the problem is?

As documented, if you include a full canonical URL as the substitution, mod_rewrite assumes you want an external redirect. So it sends a 302 redirect response to the browser, telling it to re-request the required object from the supplied URL, and this is what changes the address bar.

So I'd suggest:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /index.php?post=$1 [L]
