ProxyPass URL must be absolute?

[praveen123]

Hi,

I would like to replace list of RewriteRules with ProxyPass. Is the ProxyPass URL must be absolute? or else its better to use ProxyPassMatch for pattern matching.

Main theme of this project is to overcome the connection pooling.....

Example RewiteRule:
RewriteRule ^(.*)/recommend(.*) http://example.com:7163/data/api$1/recommend$2 [P,QSA,L]

Thanks,
Praveen
