Doh! I was so focussed on mod_rewrite that I forgot about simpler options. Anyway, I finally figured something out which works with RewriteRules. My first attempt was this: RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ([0-9]+) RewriteRule ^pages$ html/%1.html [L,NC] which only works if the QUERY_STRING is part of the URL (i.e. I do a GET request) This was a basis for the following construct: RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([0-9]+) RewriteRule ^pages$ pages/%1? [R,NC] RewriteRule ^pages/([0-9]+) html/$1.html [L,NC] which gives me what I need, turning the URL with a query string into something like pages/1234 and invisibly rewriting the resulting URL.
