Is there anyway with apache redirect's (mod_rewrite with a 301 rule) for the underlying web page to detect the redirect and run some JS or PHP (or anything really) to say, 'HEY USER!!! Ya you! Change your bookmarks please!'? [more inside]

I asked an earlier question about using Apache to redirect a request to a Tomcat server running Jython. With your help I've gotten that running, but now I have a new problem. I need the hostname of the computer making the request to be available to the Jython scripts that are running, but the mod_rewrite changes REMOTE_ADDR to be name of the Apache server, not the hostname of the user. Is there some other way I can get this information?

I'm not too well versed in Apache, and I'm having problems finding out if I can do what I want to do: Is there a way to use mod_rewrite to redirect a certain URL to a different port on the same sever without changing the URL displayed to the user? Example: Say I want http://myserver/tomcat to redirect to http://myserver:8080, but still keep the URL as http://myserver/tomcat. I've figured out how to do it so it changes the URL, and that seems to be touted as a "feature" of mod_rewrite in the documentation, but I can't find a way to turn it off. Is it possible? If not though mod_rewrite, then maybe some other module?

Website/Weblog/Apache/Chroot/mod_rewrite Wordpress? I've been hired to create website content for a record store. That's turned into also being in charge of the website creation/management. They already have hosting, a virtual server that uses chroot to keep separate clients separate. I had hoped to use Wordpress, and the guys who hired me want something that looks bloggish, even while maintaining their eBay store as the ecommerce backend (posts/album descriptions with samples would link to eBay auctions). The problem is that Wordpress needs to use mod_rewrite access (in Apache) to create permalinks when content is added (through .htaccess), and the host has said that mod_rewrite is a security risk for the rest of his clients unless we go for dedicated hosting. He's talked about using read/write permissions access to circumvent the need for .htaccess. [more inside]

I've just learnt (after an afternoon of struggling) that Apache's mod_write module doesn't work for embedded media, like a video in object tags. The best response I could get to my problem was "You'll gonna need a more sophisticated solution.". Well thanks. Any pointers? [more inside]
