Replying to the list for archive / searching purposes. Hi Chris,
These rules aren't good practice, just needed to be done for cosmetic reasons for our application :-S Basically you may want to redirect a lot of requests with a 301,302, or 303 code but only have one rule. I wanted many usersN pages i.e. http://mydomain.com/users1/page to redirect with a 301 code to http://mydomain.com/users1/mypage This will rewrite/proxy /users1/page to /users1/mypage - reqrep ^([^\ ]*)\ /([a-z]+)/page(.*) \1\ /\2/mypage\3 Now I want to redirect those pages so set up a acl to capture the proxied URL - acl users_redirect1 url_reg /([a-z]+)/mypage This will capture the proxied pages, now I can redirect them with just a prefix as the URL i'm redirecting has already been rewritten. - redirect prefix http://mydomain.com code 301 if users_redirect1 Obviously when the redirect comes back the rule could redirect it again, but I already have a rule before all of the above that rewrites that. i.e. - reqrep ^([^\ ]*)\ /([a-z]+)/mypage(.*) \1\ /pages/page-\2 Hope this makes sense.
