  • Hi lbong,

     

     

    You can use the HTTP::uri command to modify the URI sent to the server. This change would be transparent to the client. Contrast this with using HTTP::redirect to send a 302 HTTP redirect to the client. In that case, the browser's address bar would show the updated URI.

     

     

    If you are considering trying to hide all URIs from the client, take a look at this post for more info:

     

     

    rewrite the uri seen by the user

  • Thank you for help Hoolio.

     

     

    I believe that it's not possible what i need to do, because my problem it's not exactly like i told before...

     

    Well the problem it is due a redirecction on 1and1, where i've got my principal domain (original.com). 1and1 redirects original.com with frame redirect to http://www.testing.com/apps/app1/ (allocated on my web server), but this redirection isn't working fine, so i need direct http redirect to my F5 (my web server) working with clients directly.

     

     

    With frame redirect it's easy keep original URL, but with F5 is not so easy... I would like keep original name www.original.com after 1and1 http redirect, to my web server.

     

     

    With my awful english is complicated understand my problem.. sorry

     

     

    Thank you so much
  • What's your native language? Maybe somewhere here speaks it. Or you could try using your native language and I'll give an online translator a try.

  • The problem is that 1and1 have hosted my domain, 1and1 is where I make a frame redirect to send requests to the F5. The problem is that the pages load correctly with this method.

     

    The idea is to create a redirect 1and1 and mask the URL http client to retain the original.

     

     

    If 1and1 is sending an HTTP response to clients who make a request for original.com that includes an iframe that references your internal domain and this isn't working, wouldn't you need to change the configuration that 1and1 is using?

     

     

    Or have I misunderstood what the problem is? If so, can you use a browser plugin like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler for IE and access the original.com site to see exactly what is failing? Once we have a clear understanding of the failure, we can try to provide a suggestion for fixing it.

     

     

    Thanks, Aaron
