help with a RewriteRule

Hi,

I need to put together a rewriterule that will do the following:

Incoming URL: http://www.mysite.com/redir/http://www.yoursite.com/

Proxied to: http://www.yoursite.com

I can get this to work:

http://www.mysite.com/redir/www.yoursite.com/

With this rule:

RewriteRule ^/redir/(.*) http://$1 [P]

But I need to include the 'http' in the URL string.

I thought this might work but it didn't:

RewriteRule ^/redir/http://(.*) http://$1

Suggestions? Thanks!

OK.. I spoke to soon..

This rule works, but instead of proxying, it does a rewrite:

RewriteRule ^/redir/http://(.*) http://$1 [P]

And I have a ProxyPassReverse statement for the URL I'm redirecting from.

Assistance/insights would still be appreciated. Thanks again.
