I'm making a hard-coded list of a few Google-friendly "pretty URLs" to be rewritten to the actual messy URLs. We want the messy URLs to stay masked--so we don't want 301 redirects.

The pretty URLs are all in the form domain.com/buy/item-name, and the destination URLs are all pages in the domain root (PHP with parameters).

Our test case that fails:

domain.com/buy/test should mask to domain.com/content.php?do=123

Since /buy was never a real directory, I created it and am using the following .htaccess file within it. (This allows the current .htaccess work to be kept separate from the root .htaccess, and is a model we could follow with other directories in future.)

Thus, all we intend do is detect "test" (and other phrases within /buy) and mask that to the root page /content.php?do=123.

The /buy directory's entire .htaccess file is:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^test/?$ /content.php?do=123 [L]

That test RewriteRule connects to the destination just fine--but does not mask. The browser shows the unwanted messy URL.

Why? My only thought is: could there be something in the hosting company's default .htaccess at the root level which forces all RewriteRules to be redirects? If that's even possible, what should I look for there?

Thanks for any leads!
