Best way to rewrite no redirect

Hi Jim,

 

 

You can use HTTP::uri (Click here) or HTTP::path (Click here) to rewrite the URI or path.

 

 

You can check the HTTP::path wiki page for a description of the difference between the two commands.

Aaron,

 

Thanks for the answer....unfortunately...I didn't explain myself well. So here's a better description.

 

 

I need to rewrite the entire url....based on the specific file in the URI.

 

 

So:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/specificfile.asp/" } {

 

 

I need to change the url to one value as opposed to

 

 

if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/differentfile.asp/" } {

 

 

changes to a different url.

 

 

if

 

http://www.home.com/specificfile.asp send to http://www.away.com/whatever.asp

 

 

elseif

 

http://www.home.com/differentfile.asp sent to http://www.here.com/another.asp

 

 

So I've got to rewrite the incoming url to two totally different urls based on the file requested....but cannot redirect.

 

 

Thanks again,

 

Jim

 

 

 

So am I asking a question that has been covered a lot and I should be searching better for the answer (can't seem to find anything that matches).....or is this not possible in everyone's opinion.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Jim

Hi Jim,

I just missed your reply last week. If you want to check the host value, you can use HTTP::host (Click here). To rewrite the Host header value, you can use 'HTTP::header replace Host "newhost.example.com"' (Click here). To get/set the URI, you can use HTTP::uri (Click here).

So to rewrite the host and URI without the client seeing the change, you can use an iRule like this:

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: New request to [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" 
  
     Check host/uri (set to lowercase) 
    switch "[string tolower [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]]" { 
  
       "www.home.com/specificfile.asp" { 
  
           Rewrite host/URI 
          HTTP::header replace Host "www.here.com" 
          HTTP::uri "/whatever.asp" 
          log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Rewrite host/uri (1)" 
       } 
       "www.home.com/differentfile.asp" { 
  
           Rewrite host/URI 
          HTTP::header replace Host "www.here.com" 
          HTTP::uri "/another.asp" 
          log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Rewrite host/uri (2)" 
       } 
    } 
 }
