w3.org says that this could break the "back" button. (When someone presses
the "back" button, the refresh would work again, and the user would bounce
forward again.) Now, I do not think that is such a big issue, so I might
still do it this way. (It is not for very long time either.) But first:

PS I was originally thinking of RedirectMatch or RewriteRule, and a clever
regular expressions in an .htaccess file. But then you are probably rigth
that I should ask in <news:comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix> . (I am new
to all these newsgroups.)
