Apache configuration - ProxyPassMatch with Regular Expressions - Getting error

Question

I am trying to set up Apache server and using the ProxyPassMatch with Regular expressions. But I am getting an error "URL must be absolute"

Config:

ProxyPassMatch ^/assets/(.*)$ /virtual/assets/$1

Error:

ProxyPass URL must be absolute!

Do I need to add anything in httpd.conf?

Answer 1

After fiddling around the internet I found that I will need to add an http in front of URLs. It's mandatory and hence the error that URL must be absolute.
