301 redirect tracking

Hi Anish,

You could either check the Referer header on the www.xyz.com.xx virtual server. Or you could append the original host and URI to the redirect as a query string parameter:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    Redirect all requests to a new URL with the host appended to the redirect
    If there is no query string already append the url parameter to the path with a ?
   if {[HTTP::query] eq ""}{
      HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com.xx[HTTP::uri]?url=[HTTP::host][URI::encode [HTTP::uri]]"
   } else {
       There was a query string already so append the url parameter to the existing query string with a &
      HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com.xx[HTTP::uri]&url=[HTTP::host][URI::encode [HTTP::uri]]"
   }
}

Thanks Hoolio

 

 

I thought about this....but, is there any other way to achieve this without using URL parameter....maybe using a cookie?

 

 

Also, using referrer doesn't work because from what I have seen, in case of a redirect, the referrer retains the original referrer

 

 

i.e. if someone came to www.xyz.com from a link in google, twhen he/she gets redirected to www.xyz.com.xx, the referrer retains google as value.

You won't be able to set a cookie as the client is requesting to one domain and being redirected to a new domain. If the referer isn't set for this scenario, I think a query string parameter is your best option.
