Some Help With QUERY_STRING?

I have been trying, in vain, to take something like

http://www.helloworld.com/?browse=/Earth

to

http://www.helloworld.com/images/ind...?browse=/Earth

Notice the slash in "/$browse".

How do I do it?

Thank!

maria

Something along these lines (untested):
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCondition %{QUERY_STRING} ^browse=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^/$ /images/index.php?browse=%1 [R=permanent,L]

It's not clear to me if you want a redirect or just handle this
internally to the web server. In the latter case, you would rewrite to
the internal location of the script and drop the flags.
