NimbostratusHiding URI for all pages
ok, Im looking for a way to hide all the URI's from view, not sure if its possible..
I can do it like this for each URI but I was looking for something that would be like wildcard or something..
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ([HTTP::host] == "www.google.com") and ([HTTP::uri] == "/") } {
HTTP::uri "/Pages/default.aspx"
}
}
currently it looks like this "www.google.com/Pages/default.aspx" with this irule I changed it to look like "www.google.com" but I have many other pages.
Thanks
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

I don't think it's feasible for you to keep the address bar set to a single value. When a client clicks on the links that are included in response content the app sends to the client, the address bar would be updated to the value of the link.
If you need to obscure the paths in the application, technically you can encrypt them in response headers and content, and decrypt them on requests. But this is a very complex process that requires a significant amount of work.
What are you problem are you trying to address? Maybe there is another option.

f5now_28704thanks for the response, marketing has the need for an aesthetically pleasing look... BS if you ask me, but I thought I would ask... irules have been know to do some pretty cool stuff in the past.
thanks again.- Look at the proxypass iRule. You could have marketing provide you with a list of the URI transformations they want. Then, you can enter that in as the data group of the proxypass iRule.
- f5now_28704cool idea, I will have to check it out thanks for the reply.
