Here's what the reverse-caching-proxy front end for www.stonehenge.com uses: RewriteEngine On ## RewriteLog /web/stonehenge-proxy/var/log/rewrite_log ## RewriteLogLevel 3 ## local services: RewriteRule ^/icons/ - [last] RewriteRule ^/tt2/images/ - [last] ## local redirect: RewriteRule ^/cgi/go/(.*)$ $1 [redirect,last,noescape] ## passthrough: RewriteMap escape int:escape RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://localhost:8081/${escape:$1} [proxy,noescape] ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8081/ ## made a mistake! should never get here RewriteRule .* - [forbidden] By the way, without that RewriteMap, %3F in a URL incorrectly becomes "?", thus ending the path-part and begins the query-part. Bad. Broken. But this workaround works fine. And the examples in the mod_rewrite documentation are wrong. I figured this out while rebuilding http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/Pictures/ to work with images that had spaces in the filenames as well as question marks and ampersands. :) Talk about escaping hell. -- Randal L.
