Rewrite rule always redirect to wrong url

Question

Hello All,
I need to rewrite http://mysite.com/user/profile/following?profile_name=MYNAME to http://mysite.com/user/profile/MYNAME/following

I have written rule like this:

RewriteRule user/profile/(.*)/(.*) /user/profile/$2?profile_name=$1 [L,R=301]

when i put url like http://mysite.com/user/profile/MYNAME/following in the browser it always redirect me to http://mysite.com/user/profile/following?profile_name=MYNAME

What did i miss?

Thanks in Advance

You can use this code:

# external redirect from actual URL to pretty one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+user/profile/([^?]+)\?profile_name=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /user/profile/%1/%2? [R=301,L]

# internal forward from pretty URL to actual one
RewriteRule ^user/profile/([^/]+)/([^/]*)/?$ /user/profile/$2?profile_name=$1 [L,NC,QSA]

What URL did you enter in browser, Is it `http://mysite.com/user/profile/following?profile_name=MYNAME` ? – anubhava Oct 24 '13 at 07:05
Also can you post your complete .htaccess in your question? – anubhava Oct 24 '13 at 07:09
That will **internally** become `/user/profile/following?profile_name=MYNAME` (URL won't change in browser) – anubhava Oct 24 '13 at 08:20
