Very Computer

I am testing out a situation where a remote webserver (serv1) hotlinks
an image (img1.gif) to my local server (serv2).  With mod_rewrite, I
wish to block it and send back a different one (img2.gif).  On serv2,
mod_rewrite has been tested with basic functionality (it is installed
fine).

From a doc on serv1, URIs to both img1.gif and img2.gif pointing to
serv2 work (no mod_rewrite at this point).

Now on serv2 I configure mod_rewrite:

Rewri*gine   on
RewriteLogLevel 2
RewriteLog      /usr/local/apache/logs/rewrite_log
RewriteRule     .+\.(gif|jpg)$     http://serv2/img2.gif     [R]

And on serv1 I point to img1.gif:

SRC = "http://serv1/img1.gif">

Results:

The page comes up but without any image.

The logs of serv2:

a) appended to access_log:

"GET /img1.gif HTTP/1.1" 302 237
"GET /img2.gif HTTP/1.1" 302 237

b) last line appended to rewrite_log:

redirect to http://serv2/img2.gif [REDIRECT/302]

c) nothing reported in error_log

Any ideas?  Thanks for any clues.

Hi!

Looks like you've done a loop... When you access img2.gif, your rewrite rule
matches and you redirect to the same url, at which point your browser,
obviously, doesn't do anything more. You have to make sure img2.gif doesn't
match your rule.

Thank you for your answer.  I inserted a RewriteCond with a negated
REQUEST_FILENAME test and got it to work.
