Hi Guys,  
I’m trying to convert a Rewrite Rule from httpd to haproxy, and can’t firue out a solution, maybe somebody here can halp me?

The Rule looks like that:  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} “.\*/foo\_.\*”  
RewriteRule ^(.\*)/foo\_(.\*)$ [https://www.otherhost.de/foo$1/$2](https://www.otherhost.de/foo%241/%242) [NC,L,R=301]

It basically changes

[https://www.host.de/bla/foo\_blablub](https://www.host.de/bla/foo_blablub)  
to  
[https://www.otherhost.de/foo/bla/blablub](https://www.otherhost.de/foo/bla/blablub)

I’ve been experimenting with reqrep, but no success so far.
