Erik,I think you are mistaken. I'm not the expert on mod_rewrite, but I believe it will not change anything *except* for the URL being addressed. The "parameters" are not part of the URL in that sense, and should not be affected (by parameters I mean the "query string", which is everything after a "?" sign). Neither will the method (GET/POST), HTTP headers etc.. unless you specifically do something that would cause them to change.

Justin et al,That is promising, but I can't alter any of the request parameters before the filter has a chance to record them.I haven't tried this solution yet, but I believe URL rewriting will change the request params to reflect the new target. This could work if my filter was run before the URL rewriting, but I am using an output filter (e.g. PerlOutputFilterHandler). I might be able to split my handler into input and output handlers, but that approach will likely have consequences of it's own. Any other thoughts?

The catch is that I would like the parameters to remain unchanged; passed to the single handler. For example, for the following: - /index.html - /foo/fake.cgi - /goo/moo/not-real-either.pl - /another/faker.gif I would like to invoke a single application (e.g. helloworld.cgi), but want to retain the original request info (e.g. post/get, params, referrer,...). I am trying to test (load/functionality) a custom filter and want to run production access logs via JMeter. The logs contain a number of applications that I don't have deployed, I just need something to respond to the request. The filter inspects the request params, but doesn't care about the content of the response. JMeter will want a 200 return code though. Hope this is clear enough... Cheers and thanks, ErikUnless I'm misunderstanding the task, a simple RewriteRule will accomplish this.RewriteRule .* /cgi-bin/helloworld.cgi [L]
