[users@httpd] Using rewrite to forward the request
We have a web server that redirects traffic to app server using mod_jk load
balancer.
Now I need to do the following:
1. If request comes from URL /AB and content of URL /AB has content in
certain format then forward it to mod_jk otherwise forward it to some other
URL (external system in our case).
2. Make sure that when apache forwards the requests to external URL, session
from client is still active.
My obvious questions are:
1. Can I do the above using rewrite rules?
2. Can I use perl in rewrite rules to parse through the content and somehow
tell apache to re-direct the request? What's the best way to do that? In
terms of performance, efficiency etc.
3. If rewrite forwards the request then does it still maintains the session
from client -> WebServer -> External system?
I need your advise.

Holy cow.
Did I do that. I did!
I hit reply with the wrong email select. How embarassing.

Actually this is a good use of Chrome.
Chrome has stock images. Well at least one.
