mod_proxy+mod_rewrite: hiding redirection

I'm using mod_proxy/mod_rewrite to redirect requests to a specific
script which handles them. For example:


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^123.123.123.123 [NC]
RewriteRule $(.+) http://123.123.123.123/myscript?url=%{REQUEST_URI}


This is working great. The question is, can I hide that redirection
(http://123.123.123.123/myscript?url=thewebsite.com) and keep the
requested url in the address bar somehow?

Regards,

Marcos

Try playing with the P,R,L flags in the rewrite rule and see what happens :)
e.g.

RewriteRule $(.+)
http://123.123.123.123/myscript?url=%{REQUEST_URI}[P,R,L]
or
RewriteRule $(.+)
http://123.123.123.123/myscript?url=%{REQUEST_URI}[R,L]
or
RewriteRule $(.+)
http://123.123.123.123/myscript?url=%{REQUEST_URI}[P,L]

Cheers,

Igor

Try playing with the P,R,L flags in the rewrite rule and see what happens :=

e.g.

RewriteRule $(.+) pt?url=3D%%7BREQUEST_URI%7D" target=3D"_blank">http://123.123.123.123/myscr=
ipt?url=3D%{REQUEST_URI} [P,R,L]

or
RewriteRule $(.+) 7BREQUEST_URI%7D" target=3D"_blank">http://123.123.123.123/myscript?url=3D%=
{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
or
RewriteRule $(.+) 3.123.123/myscript?url=3D%%7BREQUEST_URI%7D" target=3D"_blank">http://123.1=
23.123.123/myscript?url=3D%{REQUEST_URI} [P,L]

What if you remove the handle? As it is written now I don't see
any particular need for it?

What if you remove the <Proxy *> handle? As it is written now I don&#=

Just add the [P] flag to your RewriteRule (and only the P flag...)

Still no joy. Let me post my whole proxy.conf and site.conf....



ProxyRequests On
NoProxy .somedomain.com 172.16.1.29


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^172.16.1.29 [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$
http://172.16.1.29/script.cgi/browse?URL=3D%{REQUEST_URI} [P]
Order allow, deny
Allow from all

ProxyVia Off


I've tried changing the rewriterule flags as suggested [P,R,L], [R,L],
[P,L], [P], but I still see the redirect in the address bar. Also the
cgi script is being hosted in a virtual host on the same machine.


ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
DocumentRoot /var/www

AllowOverride None


Options +ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
