[users@httpd] RewriteRule: Parenthesis not capturing

Hello, I'm trying to use the RewriteRule directive to rewrite a simple
request.  I've added these lines to a VirtualHost section of an apache
running on 'my.host' listening on port 80:

    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteLog      "/tmp/rewrite.log"
    RewriteLogLevel 9
    RewriteRule     ^/(.+) http://my.host:8600/somepath/$1 [P]

When I make a request like this:

    http://my.host/foo

I see these 5 lines in my rewrite log:


192.168.1.124 - - [16/Feb/2003:12:14:09 -0800]
[my.host/sid#80d18a4][rid#80e0794/initial] (2) init rewrite engine with
requested uri /foo
192.168.1.124 - - [16/Feb/2003:12:14:09 -0800]
[my.host/sid#80d18a4][rid#80e0794/initial] (3) applying pattern '^/(.*)'
to uri '/foo'
192.168.1.124 - - [16/Feb/2003:12:14:09 -0800]
[my.host/sid#80d18a4][rid#80e0794/initial] (2) rewrite /foo ->
http://my.host:8600/somepath/
192.168.1.124 - - [16/Feb/2003:12:14:09 -0800]
[my.host/sid#80d18a4][rid#80e0794/initial] (2) forcing proxy-throughput
with http://my.host:8600/somepath/
192.168.1.124 - - [16/Feb/2003:12:14:09 -0800]
[my.host/sid#80d18a4][rid#80e0794/initial] (1) go-ahead with proxy
request proxy:http://my.host:8600/somepath/ [OK]


For some reason the parenthesis are not capturing and $1 contains an
empty string.  The parenthesis HAD to match because otherwise the rule
("A '/' followed by at least one character") would have failed and I
would not have gotten these log messages.  What am I missing here?

Thanks,

I'm sorry, this line was from a previous attempt when the RewriteRule
was '^/(.*)'.  This should be '^/(.+)'
