[users@httpd] reverse proxy question
The scenario is:
I want to forward the request of this format
http://localhost/foo/moo.flv
to
http://bar.com/cgi-bin/outflv.pl?flv=moo.flv
If I have the following rule in my apache2.conf file it does not work.
ProxyPass /foo/ http://bar.com/cgi-bin/outflv.pl?flv=
Is there a way to achieve this?

Cheers,
Abhi

I apologise.
Thanks Krist and Tom. It is working like a charm now.
Can someone please tell me or point me to some literature as to why the
proxy pass did not work with the rule I specified?

Re-read his rule, the [P] flag to RewriteRule turns it from redirecting
the user to the rewritten URL, to proxying it internally to the
rewritten URL.

Thanks for that Krist.
I want to do it without a redirect. I am trying to do something with google
gears and google gears has the same origin security policy. So I cannot
cache URL's with different domains.
Is there any way I can achieve this with an internal forward rather than a
redirect?

Yes.
RewriteRule /foo/(.*) http://bar.com/cgi-bin/outflv.pl?flv=$1
[P]<http://bar.com/cgi-bin/outflv.pl?flv=>
