Re: Mod_rewrite removing white spaces from outside url.

[Wendell Hatcher <wendellhatcher1074@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thankyou Eric! :) 

Eric, before  running I want to confirm that this will work below?

<VirtualHost *:80>


ProxyPreserveHost On

ProxyPass / http://X.X.X.X:8080/login

RewriteEngine On


RewriteRule ^(.*/|)+(%20)+(.+)$ $1$2 [L]

# remove spaces from end or before /
RewriteRule ^(.+?)+(%20)+(/.*|)$ $1$2 [L]

# replace spaces by - in between
RewriteRule ^(^%20*)+(?:%20)+(.*)$ $1-$2 [L,R]



ProxyPassReverse / http://X.X.X.X:8080/login

</VirtualHost>

If there is a literal %20 I don't think this should be in square
brackets.  I don't think the \s will ever match so I would drop it at
the same time.

The rewrite rules don't change what's "returned" they modify the URL
requested on the server. Can you attach your rewrite:trace8 output
that fails to modify the URL w/ the improvements above?
