Reference Live Files with Built-In Server I use the built in php server most often when developing locally. 

drupal server


Is there any tweak I could make locally to have all my assets referenced on the live site? When I ran apache locally I use to put this in the vhost file.

&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
  RewriteEngine on
  rewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/sites/%1/files/%2 -f
  rewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [QSA,L]
  # Otherwise, send anything else that's in the files directory to the
  # production server.
  rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/sites/[^\/]*/files/.*$
  rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/sites/[^\/]*/files/css/.*$
  rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/sites/[^\/]*/files/js/.*$
  rewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  rewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  rewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.livesite.com$1 [QSA,L]
&lt;/IfModule&gt;


But now that I'm using the built in server, I can't do that. I was wondering if there may be another way? Preferably without a module that would affect my Drupal site. I just want this as a local modification.
If I understand this correctly, you can just use the Stage File Proxy module. Configure it to point at your production site. It has more configuration associated to it instead of just rewrite rules (which will be overwritten the next time you update core anyway).
