Re: reverse proxy question

Thanks for that Krist.

I want to do it without a redirect. I am trying to do something with google gears and google gears has the same origin security policy. So I cannot cache URL's with different domains. 

Is there any way I can achieve this with an internal forward rather than a redirect?

The scenario is:

I want to forward the request of this format

http://localhost/foo/moo.flv

to

http://bar.com/cgi-bin/outflv.pl?flv=moo.flv

If I have the following rule in my apache2.conf file it does not work.

ProxyPass /foo/  http://bar.com/cgi-bin/outflv.pl?flv=

Is there a way to achieve this

Yes.

RewriteRule /foo/(.*)   http://bar.com/cgi-bin/outflv.pl?flv=$1 [P]
