HTTP::header replace Host and HTTP:redirect

Hi,nitass

 

 

Thanks for your help

 

I have tried in my lab,

 

:if there are rule1 and rule2 under one VS,order is rule1 and rule2

 

rule1:

 

when HTTP:request {

 

if { [HTTP::host] euqals "www.srwd18.com"} {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://www.baidu.com"

 

}

 

}

 

 

rule2

 

when HTTP::request {

 

if {[HTTP::host] equals "www.srwd18.com"} {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://www.google.com"

 

}

 

}

 

 

so if someone visit www.srwd18.com,client will go to www.google.com or where?

 

 

------it can't show the page,I don't know why

 

2:

 

yes

 

 

 

 

so bigip will visit www.baidu.com for client,right?like a proxy

 

 

 

no, i don't think so. what bigip does is to replace host header in request to "www.baidu.com".

 

 

-----bigip worked as a full proxy server,so after it change replace host to "www.baidu.com",it will send request to "www.baidu.com",however rule below doesn't work

 

when HTTP::REQUEST {

 

if {[HTTP::host] equals "www.srwd18.com"}{

 

HTTP::header replace Host "www.baidu.com"

 

return}

 

}

 

 

3:

 

 

there are 2 datacenter, same website ,if I want to forward traffic in site1 to site2 ,how to forward them?

 

The only way I can think about is HTTP::REDIRECT,but this will change the item/address in client's broswer

 

so it seems HTTP::header replace Host is a good choice,

 

 

 

can't it be done by gtm?

 

-----some downstream dns server ignore the TTL set in GTM.so they cache the record more than TTL ,maybe 24 hours,

 

that is why I try to achieve via redirect or forward

 

Do u have some method to achieve this
