Set Alias path using .htaccess

Question

I have a path like this

http://host.ip/nl/producten-en-diensten/abonnementen-met-gsm

which will retrieve the correct content and I also want to receive the same content when I access the below URL also

http://host.ip/nl/business/producten-en-diensten/abonnementen-met-gsm

Note:

• host.ip/nl/ - Static
• producten-en-diensten/abonnementen-met-gsm - Dynamic, it will change
• /business keyword will append next to nl

I have referred to the rule given in this post: How can I create a shorter alias URL to a longer URL using an .htaccess file?

but no success

@Magento URL rewrite management will do exactly this, but I am trying to achieve this using .htaccess.

I have tried like this but it is redirecting

RewriteRule (^|.*?/)nl/business/(.*)$ /$1nl/$2 [R=302,L,NC]

Here is my rewrite tag in .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

############################################
## Enable rewrites

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on

## Business Rewrite
    RewriteRule (^|.*?/)nl/business/(.*)$ /$1nl/$2 [NC]

############################################
## You can put here your magento root folder
## path relative to web root

    #RewriteBase /magento/

############################################
## Workaround for HTTP authorization
## in CGI environment

    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

############################################
## TRACE and TRACK HTTP methods disabled to prevent XSS attacks

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRAC[EK]
    RewriteRule .* - [L,R=405]

############################################
## Never rewrite for existing files, directories and links

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

############################################
## Rewrite everything else to index.php

    RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

</IfModule>

Answer 1

Just remove the R=302, from your rule. R means "redirect" and 302 means "temporary type":

RewriteRule (^|.*?/)nl/business/(.*)$ /$1nl/$2 [L,NC]

For further info about your rule:

• L means "last" (don't apply further rewrite rules)
• NC means "no case" (case insensitive so /NL/BUSINESS will also match -- this may not be what you want)
