+ <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>
+
+<div class="example"><p><code>
+RewriteEngine on<br />
+RewriteBase /products/<br />
+RewriteRule ^<strong>widget/</strong>(.*)$ <strong>http://product.example.com/widget/</strong>$1 [<strong>P</strong>]<br />
+ProxyPassReverse /products/widget/ http://product.example.com/widget/
+</code></p></div>
+
+ <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>
+
+<div class="example"><p><code>
+RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} <strong>!-f</strong><br />
+RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} <strong>!-d</strong><br />
+RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://<strong>old</strong>.example.com/$1 [<strong>P</strong>]<br />
+ProxyPassReverse / http://old.example.com/
+</code></p></div>
+ </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_rewrite.html#proxypassmatch">ProxyPassMatch</a></code> whenever possible in
+ preference to mod_rewrite.</p>
+ </dd>
