.htaccess redirect without changing address bar

by

If you are using the R flag you are telling mod_rewrite that an external redirect is what you want, therefore the browser is asked to make a new request and the address bar should change accordingly.

Without the R flag, there is no redirect, but an Apache-internal request rewrite which is hidden from the browser. Thus, the address bar won’t change. However, you cannot use internal redirects to external URIs for obvious reasons.

Since you seem to use an internal redirect anyway, just remove the R flag and it should work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.+)$ ?url=$1 [L]
