Hi , Thnx for the reply. I have a application which does the authentication based on the header values. Therefore I need to send the request to the http://localhost:8080/test-app with the correct headers. I need to simulate this behaviour. What I need is to get the parameters and add it to the headers, to simmulate a request with the correct headers.

I'm still not exactly sure what you are asking for. From your use of RequestHeader, I'm assuming that the headers you want to manipulate are for the benefit of the service runnin on port 8080 to which you are proxying? If that is the case, and you want to set headers for the backend based on the URL, why not just get the backend to interpret the url? I'm not at all sure if this will work, but you could try something like: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} foo=(.+) RewriteRule ^/care(/.*) http://localhost:8080/test-care$1 [E:some_env=%1] RequestHeader add X-h1 "test1" env=some_env Generally speaking you can't directly alter headers with mod_rewrite, but again I don't see why you have to. -- noodl --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
