hello there!

hopefully, i am posting to the correct area.  i am currently having troubles
with mod_rewrite in an apache 2 environment.  i would like to hide the "abc"
directory. the following code works:

*** CODE SNIPPET ***
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule !^abc(/.*)?$ /abc/index.php%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
*** CODE SNIPPET ***

but this code does not. it will only redirect to index.php when the "R" is
removed.  does this have something to do with ssl (https://) issues?

*** CODE SNIPPET ***
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule !^abc(/.*)?$ /abc/index.php%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
*** CODE SNIPPET ***

your time and help is greatly appreciated!  thanks much in advance!
