can't rewrite uri

Hi all,

I'm trying to do something which I think is supposed to be very basic, but is failing:

when HTTP_REQUEST { 

      if { [HTTP::version] eq "1.1" } { 
           if { [HTTP::header is_keepalive] } { 
              HTTP::header replace "Connection" "Keep-Alive" 
           } 
           HTTP::version "1.0" 
       } 
      
       if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/forms/"}{
            set new_uri /f5-w-687474703a2f2f6562626f736465762e6d732e636f6d3a37373832$$[HTTP::uri]

            HTTP::uri  $new_uri 
           log local0. [HTTP::uri]     
        }

}
Basically, the uri is never changed - I've verified on the back end. I read something about the uri getting cached - is this something to check? Can I purge the cache?

Thanks much,

Mark

    Hi Mark,

     

    Try this

     

    HTTP::uri /f5-w-687474703a2f2f6562626f736465762e6d732e636f6d3a37373832$$[HTTP::uri]

    HTTP::uri should be working to rewrite the URI. You can log the updated value by using a later priority HTTP_REQUEST event: 

    when HTTP_REQUEST { 
   if { [HTTP::version] eq "1.1" } { 
      if { [HTTP::header is_keepalive] } { 
         HTTP::header replace "Connection" "Keep-Alive" 
      } 
      HTTP::version "1.0" 
   } 
   if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/forms/"}{
      HTTP::uri "/f5-w-687474703a2f2f6562626f736465762e6d732e636f6d3a37373832$$[HTTP::uri]"
   }
}
when HTTP_REQUEST priority 501 {
   log local0. [HTTP::uri]
}
