_rewriteURL with query parameter

Hi,

I've setup a mod_rewrite rule to rewrite a simple URL to a WebObjects direct action, like

mydomain.com/<username>		to 	mydomain.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyApp.woa/wa/profile?uid=<username>

This works fine except the browser displays the long URL, instead of the short URL, as expected.

Is there anyway, using either ERXApplication._rewriteURL or ERXApplication.replaceApplicationPath properties, to display the short URL that includes the username param that was originally passed into the direct action query and display something like mydomain.com/<username>.

All the documentation/examples I've seen are of the type where replaced URL is always static i.e the App name.

Thanks,

Anil Bajaj
