map with preserving the URL

[DieterK]

Hello,

I'm trying to make the URLs on my site more "friendly" with map, but I don't
understand the right way.

My config looks like this:
=========
map $uri_lowercase $new {
  include /foobar/rewriterules.map;
}

server {
  listen       443 ssl;
[...]

location / {
  if ($new) {
     rewrite ^ $new redirect;
  }

  location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/foobar;
    include global/php.conf;
  }
}

The rewriterules.map looks like this:
/product/foo /product.php?id=100;
/product/bar /product.php?id=200;

This also works so far, but I want to preserve the URL in the address bar.

I already tried it with break instead of redirect, unfortunately it doesn't
seem to work. (error 500)

What's the right way to do this?

Thanks

Dieter
