I am just dipping my toes into the mod_rewrite pool and I wonder if you can help me. I'm not sure if this is possible:
I have a large html site that I am migrating over to a cms. Most of the older stuff on the site is going to stay as html but I can going to give it a new domain name and transfer the current domain to the cms site. Now some of the old pages have absolute links and I want to rewrite all those links to the new domain, so that if we come across a link to Http://www.htmlsite.com/filename I want it to be re-directed to Http://www.newdomainname.com/filename
Is that possible with mod_rewrite?
