   I am adding a rewrite rule in the simplest way I know how, which is something like this:

   function my_flush_rewrite_rules(){
   
   	global $wp_rewrite;
   	$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
   
   }
   
   function my_add_rewrite_rule($wp_rewrite){
   
   	$feed_rules = array(
   		'.*myRequestedSpecialThing$' => 'index.php?my_parameter=1'
   	);
   	$wp_rewrite->rules = $feed_rules + $wp_rewrite->rules;
   
   }
   
   function my_add_query_vars($query_vars){
   
   	$query_vars[] = 'my_parameter';
   	return $query_vars;
   
   }
   
   function my_template_redirect(){
   
   	global $wp_query;
   	if(array_key_exists('my_parameter', $wp_query->query_vars)){
   		do_my_special_stuff_here();
   		die;
   	}
   }
   
   add_action('init',						'my_flush_rewrite_rules');
   add_action('generate_rewrite_rules',	'my_add_rewrite_rule');
   add_filter('query_vars',				'my_add_query_vars');
   add_action('template_redirect', 		'my_template_redirect');

   but I am getting a redirect (301 Moved Permanently, which is basically just adding a trailing slash) that I do not want. Is this Wordpress or something on my server?

   Also is there a better or simpler way to work with Wordpress rewrites?

   This is the only method that I've found so far - there is sparse documentation on WordPress rewriting though.

   Looking at http://wp-fun.co.uk/2007/12/24/creating-custom-urls/, I suspect your code for the rewrite rule needs some attention. I can't see how in your existing rule you can pass the matched part of your URI to the right-hand side of the rule.
