Redirect all images in a directory to another website using .htaccess

Question

How can I redirect all .png and .jpg image URLs within the /tool/img directory to another website? Filenames can consist of special (unicode) characters.

For example, the following URL:

http://example.com/tool/img/filename-with-special-chars.png

Should redirect to:

http://newdomain.com/img/filename-with-special-chars.png

Solution

Try something like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/tool/img/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(jpg|png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/tool/img/(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/img/$1  [NC,U,QSA]

@Martijn: Not sure why the edit added, what appears to be, a superfluous RewriteCond directive?

[Martijn]

I made the image extentions together. This way it's very easy to expand and read (you notice they're all images in a split second). I made the first RewriteCond to make a fast, easy readable check for requested uri before we start more complex conditions. The / is correct, thats my bad. I didnt add the U flag though. Ill add comments to my edit
