I'm still kinda shocked that I got it working, but I actually does what I wanted!

I was messing around with this, and I have to admit that it was more trial and error than knowledge, but I got it:

RewriteCond     %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}      /$
RewriteRule     /(.*)   http://localhost:81/$1/ [P]

I'm kinda proud that I figured out the /$ (that itself took me a half hour to figure out!). I totally suck at regular expressions, and you know, I still don't understand why the above works, but it does!

now both of the following work:

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota
http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota/

Thanks for all the help!
Mike

If I'm not mistaken from an earlier post, you actually want more than to
just have

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota

or

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota/

work.  You want to also use the same rewrite for images, etc.
Without knowing the full extent of what you expect the code
to do I don't even know if mod_rewrite is right for the job.

To me it sounds like you might need some server-side technology like php or perl
to do some URL processing and redirects...

Thanks,

Well, for example, I would like to be able to input either of the following into my browser:

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota

or

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota/

and the web page will be displayed while the application server handling the requests all see localhost as the originating address.

My apologies for not being more clear. cota is a folder, and the problem is that it's not appending the trailing slash.

thanks!

That's why I was saying you'd probably have to write something a little complicated.
Its really hard if you don't already have a naming convention in mind.
That way you could just force it to rewrite without the ending slash if you wanted. I think its adding the trailing slash because it assumes cota is a directory.
(Someone else on here might have a better explanation.)
What exactly are you trying to see happen, in human terms, i.e. how would
you like the request to unfold.
Thanks,
