mod_rewrite query

[col69]

I need to redirect any .py file plus query string

e.g. test.py?var=1

located anywhere within the htdocs folder and its subfolders to a different port on the same machine. Another server on this port is meant to handle all .py requests. I've tried the following and variants thereof to no effect, can anyone help and tell me where I'm going wrong?

RewriteRule ^/(.*\.(py).*)$

http://%{HTTP_HOST}:8000/$1

and

RewriteRule ^(.*\.(py).*)$

http://%{HTTP_HOST}:8000/$1

TIA

Try something like this for your regular expression:

^/.*([^/]*.py\?.*)

Then google for a good tutorial on regular expressions.

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work. As a side note what does this part do: [^/]*.

TIA

match anything that isn't a forward slash. Hence the regexp tutorial.
