I am trying to create a rewrite rule that will append a JPG to  
dynamically  
created URL but have the browser still go to the original URL.

IE:

[http://server/user/info/image](http://server/user/info/image) to [http://server/user/info/image.jpg](http://server/user/info/image.jpg) but  
still  
go to [http://server/user/info/image](http://server/user/info/image)

Thanks for any tips!

Why don’t you show us where you’ve managed to get to, what you  
expected to happen, and what doesn’t work as you expected.  
Then we can help you learn, without just doing your job for you 😉
