Hi all,

I’ve a Glype proxy and I want to rewrite the URL’s. All URLs on the page  
are automatically converted to:  
[http://proxy.com/browse.php?u=URL](http://proxy.com/browse.php?u=URL) HERE

Example: If I go to /browse on The Pirate Bay on my proxy I want to  
convert the URL from this:  
[http://proxy.com/tpb/browse.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fthepiratebay.se%2Fbrowse&b=0](http://proxy.com/tpb/browse.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fthepiratebay.se%2Fbrowse&b=0)

To this:  
[http://proxy.com/tpb/browse](http://proxy.com/tpb/browse)

Also if i go to:  
[http://proxy.com/tpb/browse.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fthepiratebay.se%2Ftop&b=0](http://proxy.com/tpb/browse.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fthepiratebay.se%2Ftop&b=0)

Then I want to convert to:  
[http://proxy.com/tpb/top](http://proxy.com/tpb/top)

As you can see, the whole part:  
browse.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fthepiratebay.se%2F

Is gone (and the `&b=0` what is behind the URL). And it has the same  
domain structure as The Pirate Bay.

I’ve tried something like this, in the .htaccess file:  
location /tpb/ {  
rewrite ^/browse.php?u=(.\*)$ /$1? last;  
break;  
}

But it is not working. Somebody has an answer? An other function is also  
welcome. (Such as `fastcgi_split_path_info` or something else what is  
compatible with nginx)

(If you want see a example go to tpb.piratenpartij.nl but I’m not  
sure if they are using Glype)

I tried to figure this problem out myself but I couldn’t…

I searched a lot with no results… so, can anybody help us?
