Strip Everything But HTTP::host

We're redirecting users a temporary server with new pools and virtual servers during a maintenance update and we want to strip off any http::path or http::uri and just send people to the http::host us...

You could rewrite the URI to / using HTTP::uri / instead. The client wouldn't see the change and it wouldn't result in a redirect and a second HTTP request. You could also select the "maintenance" pool using the pool command (Click here).

 

 

If you do want to use a redirect, make sure to redirect to "http://[HTTP::host]/" as the redirect location must have a URI of at least /.
