How do I tell my local server to interpret all relative paths, that start with a /uploads/, from a remote server (the production server)?

The uploads folder is out of version control and I don’t have it in my local server (the testing server).

    You can use the mod_proxy module of apache.

    ProxyRequests Off

<Proxy *>
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass /uploads http://live.domain.com/uploads
ProxyPassReverse /uploads http://live.domain.com/uploads

    The ProxyRequests Off disables forward proxy so your machine can’t be used as a proxy server.

    The <Proxy *>...</Proxy> sets the access rights to your (Reverse-)Proxy; ‘all’ in this case.

    And finaly the ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse define that every request to ‘/uploads’ should be passed on to ‘http://live.domain.com/uploads’ (->ProxyPass) and every response from ‘http://live.domain.com/uploads’ should be treated as it would be from ‘/uploads’ (->ProxyPassReverse).
