.htaccess proxy pass through

[EvoIX_MR2006]

Hello,

I am trying to use .htaccess to proxy a site through as a domain hosted on the litespeed server.

This doesn't work:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.google.ca/$1 [P]

But this does:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.google.ca/$1 [L]

The latter redirects directly to google.ca. If I put an external App of type web server and set it to the google IP, and leave the .htaccess as the top example, it does a redirect instead of a reverse proxy.

I beleive I asked about this a few months back, and was told the feature was being implemented? Can anyone confirm?

Thanks.

You need to create a web server external app with name "www.google.ca".

your example of google looks not good: it looks like google can detect this and refuse to be reverse proxy'ed.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.google.ca/$1 [P]

assume the name of your external App of web server is google_backend, the rewrite rule should be

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://google_backend/$1 [P,QSA]

this can archive success partly:
for example, access http://yousite.com/abcd, it will access google.ca/abcd, and return a "404 Not Found" page from google.

However if you use your own site instead of google, should be successful.
