iwproxy question

Hi,

I have the following branching structure

Intranet

Sub Branch --- Global
Workarea ---- global_content

Sub Branch --- Mercury
Workarea ---- mercury_content

Sub Branch --- Eagle
Workarea ---- eagle_content

Some of the HTML pages in these branches have links like
../mercury/page_link or /mercury/page_link
../eagle3/page_link or /eagle3/page_link

Which effectively means that you want to reference a page in corresponding branch starting at its docroot.

To capture this I coded the following regular exp in

[iwproxy_preconnect_remap]
_regex=^/mercury(.*)/=http://dev.company.com:81/iw-mount/default/main/Intranet/Mercury/WORKAREA/mercury_content/$2
_regex=^/eagle3(.*)/=http://dev.company.com:81/iw-mount/default/main/Intranet/Mercury/WORKAREA/mercury_content/$2

Assuming that the $2 variable will contain the rest of the URL after /mercury or /eagle3 are matched.
I tried appending the docroot of that branch in front of $2. However it does not seems to work.

The proxy shows a URL like this
/iw-mount/default/main/Intranet/Mercury/WORKAREA/mercury_content/mercury/human_resources/index.htm

Hoping somebody will be able to tell me what I am doing wrong here ?

Thanks

Have you tried using the variable $1 instead of $2?

_regex=^/mercury(.*)/=http://dev.company.com:81/iw-mount/default/main/Intranet/Mercury/WORKAREA/mercury_content/$1

Thanks Robert,

I had tried $1 before. That did nto work as expected.
However I figured out the dumb mistake I was making and corrected the regex

_regex=^/iw-mount/default/main/Intranet/Mercury/WORKAREA/mercury_content/mercury(.*)=http://dev.company.gartner.com:81/iw-mount/default/main/Intranet/Mercury/WORKAREA/mercury_content/$2
