Couple of questions about rewrite and proxypass

[Al <shaselai@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
   i am trying to get http binding to work for jwchat and openfire and i found some examples and would like to make sure i understand couple of things:

<VirtualHost *>

  ServerName myserver.com
  DocumentRoot "C:/apache2/htdocs/"

  <Directory "C:/apache2/htdocs/">
  Options  +Indexes +MultiViews

  </Directory>

  AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

  RewriteEngine on

  RewriteRule http-bind/ http://myserver.com/http-bind/

</VirtualHost>
ProxyPass /http-bind/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/http-bind/ 

So what RewriteRule here is doing is when it detects "http-bind/" it will direct me to "http://myserver.com/http-bind/";? and when ProxyPass detects the "/http-bind/" it will try to direct me to "http://127.0.0.1:8080/http-bind/"; ?

couple of questions...
1. when I entered "http://myserver.com/http-bind/"; i ended up in the same URL though - is that what should happen?

2. is RewrieRule neccessary here? if i just enter http://myserver.com/http-bind/ directly wouldnt it bypass it? I am a bit confused here..

thanks...
