Re: RewriteRule Proxy problems

[Perrin Harkins]

 In my lightweight httpd.conf, I have:

 RewriteRule ^/(.*)\.asp http://66.33.85.239/$1.asp [p]

 If I go to http://www.buildreferrals.com/rotatorstats.asp, it gets proxy'd
 correctly.

 But if I go to http://www.buildreferrals.com/rotatorstats.asp?login=pmak0
 (that's the same URL, but with a query string added), then I get a 404
 Not Found error.

Of course you do. Your regex ^/(.*)\.asp doesn't match that URL with the
query string.

seems like it does match.  it's monday, so maybe my internal pattern
matching engine needs some tweaking.  ;-)

the rewrite engine gets handed:
/rotatorstats.asp?login=pmak0

start from the beginning of the string and match the leading slash,
then match all following characters.  keep backing up till \.asp is
also matched.  i don't see how the query string makes any difference.
if he put an end of string '$' at the end of the pattern, then that would
change the matching and cause it to fail.

Why not? I did not put a $ at the end of the regexp so it should still
match. I've also tried:

RewriteRule ^/(.*)\.asp(.*) http://66.33.85.239/$1.asp$2 [p]

but got the same 404 Not Found error.

Sorry, I should have said that it wouldn't match the query string itself.
(I'm a little under-rested and over-caffeinated at the moment.)  Looking
back at your post, it seems like it still should have worked although it
would have had no query string in the proxied request.  You might try
^/(.*)\.asp(.*)$ for matching the whole query string, but I wouldn't thing
it would be necessary with a greedy regex.
