[TYPO3-english] CoolURI - removing parts of URL

[Pero Matic]

Meanwhile i made a RewriteRule for this:

RewriteRule ^/path/(.*)$ /some/long/url/path/$1

but this doesn't work if i don't put [R] - external redirection. This way 
when user writes URL like:

http://mysite.com/path/page

URL address in his browser will change to:

http://mysite.com/some/long/url/path/page

and i don't want this. Why internal redirect doesn't work here and is there 
a way to make it work? THX!

Regards.
