But the real question is: why would you need to do this? If you are already processing a request with mod_rewrite then it is usually much clearer if you use mod_rewrite to ask for the proxying as well. mod_rewrite doesn't actually do the proxying, but simply handes it back to mod_proxy. So, for example, the following two directives are essentially identical in effect (except perhaps in very special cases): ProxyPass /foo http://bar RewriteRule ^/foo(.*) http://bar$1 [P] Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
