    Hi

    Is the following possible?
    I have for example the site albums.com with the link to the external site : image.com/album/file.jpg
    Is it possible to Redirect image.com/album/file.jpg to the internal site, so the final link will be albums.com/album/file.jpg

    And is this possible to do this with .htaccess? :)

    Basically you want to redirect the traffic from another site, that's impossible. What you can do (and i don't know if i recommend it), it's redirect certain request (with some .htaccess filter) to one php file and then do the request in the backend. It would be something like:

    .htaccess
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?_route=$1 [L,QSA]
    Code (markup):
    index.php
    if (strstr($route, $whatyouarelookingfor)) { //
// do the proper http request
}
    Code (markup):
