{QUERY_STRING} & RewriteCond

hi...
how can I rewrite

/folder/file.php?action=value

into

/folder/file.php/value

?

I tried several things but never got to any result

all attempts would not get rid of the question mark...

such as

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)?action$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder/file.php/value [R=301,L]

this would always append ?action=value at the end and create a loop.

any help appreciated.

Try:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)action=(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder/file.php/%2 [R=301,L]

Be aware of 'funny characters' in the value ...
.... they are not at all funny!

/main/article.php is by no way the result of these very directives.
What are your exact directives and initial url (including the qs).
Anything rewrite logging active?

Well the source url is

/main/article.php?story=20030811004609907

the intended result is

/main/article.php/20030811004609907

basically everything is correct except that the query string is re-appended somehow.

the exact http.conf instuction is:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)action=(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /main/article.php/%2 [R=301,L]

I am not sure what you mean about rewrite logging.

thanks for the support!

Toke me a moment to recognize this ...
.... re-appending is normal behaviour unless you make your own qs

Try
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)action=(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /main/article.php/%2? [R=301,L]
not sure the ? will be dropped from the location header.
