All I want to do is 301 redirect one single file to a different location!
The ISAPI site [isapirewrite.com] wants to teach me character classes, word operators and all kinds of other things that I'd need if I want to get a degree in ISAPI. I don't.
I've spent ages trying to find examples of a httpd.ini file that don't deal in the non-www to www issue but in 301 redirecting a single file. No luck till I found this thread here at WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com] by P1R. Great!
It suggests:
rewriteRule /old-page.asp http://www.example.com/new-page.asp [I,O,RP]
Which works fine except that the old URL remains in the browser address bar as http://www.example.com/old-page.asp (though it's the content of the new page that shows up). Strangely, the problem is restricted to IE6. Firefox shows the new URL in the window properly.
How do I get the new URL to show in IE6?
(server header check does show a sucessful 301)
