Re: webservices.apache.org should point to minotaur
Yup. There is no need for the rewrite engine. Just use a different vhost with the redirect. Clean and simple. /me whacks EdK for using a sledgehammer all the time... :-) Cheers, -g On Thu, Aug 28, 2003 at 04:55:16PM -0700, Brian Behlendorf wrote: Redirect already does the matching of the end piece; that is, the piece I proposed will redirect http://webservices.apache.org/blahblah to http://ws.apache.org/blahblah.

Re: webservices.apache.org should point to minotaur
You could have also just created a vhost section specifically for
webservices.apache.org, and placed a single
Redirect / http://ws.apache.org/
but this works too, looks like.

If there's a way to do this without rewrite rules, I'm all ears. I
couldn't come up with one because of the need to get at the HTTP Host

Note: This does not avoid the access of the European Patentability

Am ok with that.
