[users@httpd] rewrite gurus help? (with mod_proxy_ajp)

[Pete Lamborne <pete@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,
There is very little info out there on this so far, given how new 
mod_proxy_ajp is.  One post I found seemed to indicate the same bug with 
no solution....

The problem is that I can't get mod_rewrite to work transparently with 
mod_proxy_ajp.  It either doesn't work at all (when I don't specify 
:proxy or [P]), or works like a redirect, changing the URL in the user's 
browser.

Here's a quick conf:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /pub/wiv/(.*).asx$ /pub/wiv?seoName=$1 [P]
ProxyPass /pub ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub
ProxyPassReverse /pub ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub

Here's something else I tried with the same results:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /pub/wiv/(.*).asx$ proxy:ajp://dev3:8009/pub/wiv?seoName=$1
ProxyPass /pub ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub
ProxyPassReverse /pub ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub

Both of these solutions work, but replace the pretty URL with the ugly 
one for the end-user.  I want it to be transparent to the user.

What am I missing?
