+<h2><a name="dynamic-proxy" id="dynamic-proxy">Proxying Content with mod_rewrite</a></h2>
+
+
+
+ <dl>
+ <dt>Description:</dt>
+
+ <dd>
+ <p>
+ mod_rewrite provides the [P] flag, which allows URLs to be passed,
+ via mod_proxy, to another server. Two examples are given here. In
+ one example, a URL is passed directly to another server, and served
+ as though it were a local URL. In the other example, we proxy
+ missing content to a back-end server.</p>
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>Solution:</dt>
+
+ <dd>
+ <p>To simply map a URL to another server, we use the [P] flag, as
+ follows:</p>
+
+<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteEngine on
+RewriteBase "/products/"
+RewriteRule "^widget/(.*)$" "http://product.example.com/widget/$1" [P]
+ProxyPassReverse "/products/widget/" "http://product.example.com/widget/"</pre>
+
+
+ <p>In the second example, we proxy the request only if we can't find
+ the resource locally. This can be very useful when you're migrating
+ from one server to another, and you're not sure if all the content
+ has been migrated yet.</p>
+
+<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}" !-f
+RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}" !-d
+RewriteRule "^/(.*)" "http://old.example.com/$1" [P]
+ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://old.example.com/"</pre>
+
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>Discussion:</dt>
+
+ <dd><p>In each case, we add a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse">ProxyPassReverse</a></code> directive to ensure
+ that any redirects issued by the backend are correctly passed on to
+ the client.</p>
+
+ <p>Consider using either <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassmatch">ProxyPassMatch</a></code> whenever possible in
+ preference to mod_rewrite.</p>
