htaccess/rewrite question

[guest2013-1]

Sup, I get images from a repository on the web, they have their own CDN and the url's are formatted like this:

http://img2.imagerepository.com/images/250x250/product_name/supplier.jpg

img2 can be img/img3/img4 etc

I want to rewrite it so that if I did this:

http://img2.mydomain.com/images/250x250/product_name/supplier.jpg

It would load the image off their server but looking like it came from mine instead.

The RewriteRule I came up with:

RewriteRule ^img(.*)$\.shoppersavvysave\.com/^(.*)$ http://$1.imagerepository.com/$2 [R,L]

Doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas how I'd be able to do this?

RewriteRule ^img(.*)$\.shoppersavvysave\.com/^(.*)$ http://$1.imagerepository.com/$2 [R,L]

Looks like an error there. That part is a regex, so $ indicates EOL.

Also, wouldn't you want to specify .jpg as well, otherwise EVERYTHING would be rewritten, wouldn't it?

Hm. Another thing... the substitution variables, $1 and $2.. they would just be the value of the actual matched pattern, IIRC, so matching against:

img1.shoppersavvysave.com/blah would rewrite to 1.imagerepository.com/blah

img1.shoppersavvysave.com/blah would rewrite to 1.imagerepository.com/blah

exactly

I'll remove the $ and see thanks

If you have access to the config, you can set up rewrite logging. Google 'rewrite debug', there are quite a few articles on it, although those rewrite logs are horrible.

If you don't have access to the configs, try: http://www.latenightpc.com/blog/archives/2007/09/05/a-couple-ways-to-debug-mod_rewrite

Did changing the regx work?
