Hi all,

happy Easter!  
I am trying to rewrite this URL

`/international`  
to  
`/c/international-cafe/14`

without the URL in the address bar to change.

I tried using this:

```plaintext
location /international {
   return 301 https://discourse/c/international-cafe/14;
}

```

with the result of the browser changing the address.

What I am doing wrong?

Thx!

F.

Can routes be rewritten? I’m not sure that’s possible.
