Redirect

[Andrew Hole <an...@gmail.com>]

Hello!

On an Apache server, I would like to have a Redirect from a URL to
other URL not on my server. The redirect is temporary, and therefore I
would prefer if the original URL appeared in the visitor's browser's
Address Bar, as opposed to the URL of the site to which he/she was
redirected.

Is it possible?

Thanks a lot

+1 I agree with Rainier

You may want to consider returning 302 supplying the new Location URI field
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

implementation example available at
http://developers.sun.com/mobility/reference/techart/design_guidelines/http_
redirection.html

This question better belongs to the httpd users list.

Have a look at mod_rewrite, and in case you need to combine this with 
mod_jk, you need to set the PT flag in the rule.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html

You can also do some basic URL transformation with mod_proxy:
