  <p>I'm trying the rewrite <strong><em>/news/</em></strong> to <strong><em>/news/news-reader/</em></strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried this one:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteRule ^news/(.*)$ news/news-reader/$1 [R=301,L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Guess what the reaulting URL is?</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>news-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader-reader</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So I get a rewrite error.</p>
  
  <p>How can I rewrite the part "news" in the URL in a correct way?</p>
  
  <p><strong>2.)</strong></p>
  
  <p>How can I rewrite "news/" to "news". So it will go to the URL without the slash?</p>
