NimbostratusHi All,
I have a query on URL rewriting. Here is the scenario:
abc.externalurl.com/something/action?key1=value1 --> F5 --> something.internalurl.com/action?key1=value1
secondhost.com is internal URL not available to the public, so I think it should be host replacement rather than redirect.
NimbostratusMaybe something like this:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
set val1 [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 1]
set val2 [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 2]
set my_location "$val1.internalurl.com/$val2"
HTTP::Respond 301 Location "$my_location"
log local0. "Redirecting to $my_location"
}
Cheers.
NimbostratusSorry - I missed the "http://" on the redirect.
set my_location "http://$val1.internalurl.com/$val2"
CumulonimbusHi,
if you are in version 11.4.0 or above, you can use a rewrite profile:
or use the irule:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
set val1 [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 1]
HTTP::host "$val1.internalurl.com"
HTTP::uri [string map "$val1 /" [HTTP::uri]]
}
NimbostratusDoes the iRule change if the VS is HTTPS ? Also as the internalurl.com should be visible to the end user will the iRule take care for the http_respond back and remap the respond back to abc.externalurl.com?
The reason I had in mind iRule is that it's more flexible and adding another context later would not be a problem. Where with clientside/serverside rewrite profile is static.
CumulonimbusNimbostratusSorry - I made a typo. "... as the internalurl.com should NOT be visible to the end user will the iRule take care for the http_respond back and remap the respond back to abc.externalurl.com?"
