HTA redirect - mask URL

I'm having trouble redirecting my main website www.mydomain.com to the folder mydomain.com/stuff/public_html/index.html while retaining www.mydomain.com in the URL. I'd prefer to use HTA over some html solution, but what'开发者_StackOverflow中文版s the most SE friendly and modern solution for this?

I've tried the simple HTA 301 redirect below, but it shows the file path which I want to avoid.

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.mydomain\.com\/stuff\/public_html\/" [R=301,L]

Thanks!

Looks like you do not need an external redirect. You need an internal redirect. For this you need to remove the [R] flag in your rule (and have only [L]). The [R] flag forces an external redirect with a HTTP 301 response code.
