title: .htaccess redirect doesn't hide url
body: <p>my .htaccess in the root folder includes the following lines :</p>
  
  <pre><code>Options +FollowSymlinks
  RewriteEngine on
  
  RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ http://example.com/?city=$1 [NC]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I open the address <a href="http://example.com/bla.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://example.com/bla.htm</a>, my browser doesn't hide the GET values specified in the .htaccess, it redirects me to ?city=bla. eventhough I'm not using the [R] switch. This has always worked for me before (as I remember, haven't dealt with htaccess in a while). What's wrong here ?</p>
