Hi,

I guess it is not but was wondering if it might be possible to do some kind of mod rewrite for external links.
The problem is: I have pdf-documents with links to the next page. While using them offline it works with relative paths but as soon as I have them uploaded they try to find the next page on the original server. So it would help if all requests for http://www.otherdomain.com/page5.html would be rewritten to http://mydomain.com/page5.html.

Has anyone an idea how to do that?

Thanks

Dunno... give this a go (in a .htaccess file, located in your root folder for the site...i.e where index.html would be kept);

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.otherdomain.com/$1 [L]

That *should* redirect people from http://www.yourdomain.com/test/index.html to http://www.otherdomain.com/test/index.html (or whatever page you are requesting).

I'm not good at mod_rewrite. This is just a re-write of something Alex posted once, but it should work :)

Cheers

Hi Andy,

thank you for your reply. I think this is a good idea but probably it won´t work. I think there is no chance to interfere with rewrite rules and a leaving link... stupid files they are or am I.

Thanks again
