.htaccess rewriterule/cond question

[slick101]

Hello, I am trying to figure out if this is possible using htaccess.

I am using a framework that works w/ controllers. I want to request site.com/username to be handled by site.com/cl/username without interfering with the controllers.

If not possible do I create a central controller that handles routing?

Thanks for your time!

Well, you could easily reroute /username to /cl/username; however, you will need to handle use-cases if the username either (a) isn't there, or (b) should really be routed somewhere else.
