Any way to avoid changing URL on error

[chaotic_iak]

Is there any way to avoid changing the URL to the custom error page's URL if an error occurred?

For example, one entered mydomain.com/nonexistentpage.html, and gets 404 Error. I have a custom error page on mydomain.com/404.html and the corresponding command in. htaccess file "ErrorDocument 404 mydomain.com/404.html". The content of the page is what 404.html has, but I want the address bar shows nonexistentpage.html instead of 404.html.

Hello! You can rename your file to "nonexistentpage.html". URL spoofing is forbidden, because it's hасkіng technique and it won't work for modern browsers. Or you want something connected with mod_rewrite?

I'm hosting an online riddle game, so it's very common that people get 404 Error because they answered incorrectly. That way, renaming the 404 Error page to all possible combinations is practically impossible. And what is mod_rewrite?
