Good morning, list, After about 7 hours of struggling with this issue, I can't seem to find out how to trace the cause of this issue:
I am trying to rewrite absolute URLs using a .htaccess file on my computer being served from localhost. I have succeeded in the following: Using, say, an HTML file containing the tag <img src="//www.example.com/image.png" />, I used "RewriteRule ^//(.*example\.com.*) http://$1"; to get Apache to fetch the image; Using an HTML file containing the tag <img src="www.example.com/image.png">, I used "RewriteRule ^(.*example\.com.*) http://$1"; to get Apache to fetch the image; However, using an HTML file containing the tag <img src="/www.example.com/image.png"> and "RewriteRule ^/(.*example\.com.*) http://$1";, the webpage does not show the image. Further, turning the LogLevel up to trace8 and picking through error.log only shows that Apache failed to fetch the image from my file system (that is, /home/borden/www.example...) and didn't even pass the URL to the RewriteRule. Could someone explain why absolute URLs (which is what I'm simulating here) aren't getting caught by RewriteRule? The real problem I'm trying to solve involves needing to play with Drupal in a subdirectory of my localhost machine without changing any of the links. Therefore, suggestions to "rewrite the <img> tags" won't help. I ran the example from a simple website I set up in a folder on my server, not the Drupal installation.
