Nimbostratusis there actually definitive code for masking urls? I want users to be able to go to https://www.test.com and whatever happens behind the scenes, the url stays there - for security. What actually happens is it offloads SSL and passes back a set of nginx boxes which I need to mask. Everything else in the design works except for the masking the url. Thanks.
CumulonimbusHi,
there is no solution in the reverse proxy to hide the real URL in a browser.
For security reason, the browser display the real URL and don't let server display another URL than the real one (if you go to server http://www.iwillhackyou.com and it display http://company.com, it is not safe)
One solution is to include your web site in a frame... you can try this irule (not tested)
when RULE_INIT {
Define the main page when the user browse the URI "/"
set static::main_uri "/logon.php"
this is the web page to create the frame and call the URI above
set static::frame_reponse_page {
Title of your webpage
<body>
Your browser does not support frames
</body>
}
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::path] equals "/"} {
HTTP::respond 200 content [subst -nobackslashes $static::frame_reponse_page] noserver
}
}the static::main_uri variable must be set with the URL of the default URL of the website (must not be not /)
the main browser page will stay / and the user will browse website inside the frame...
Note: The code is updated to correct quote issue (not tested)
