Hi All,

 

Thanks for you replies. I suspect from the internal server doing this redirection but i do not know exact reason.

 

I will check more detail and inform you.

 

Hi Kevin by the way, there is a redirection irule on VIP like ;

 

if [HTTP::uri] equals "/" do HTTP::redirect "/blabla"

 

Regards,

If that does not help you then you can try the following simplified code to solve your problem. This will ensure that all redirects relative. This takes http://mylocal.server.com/anyway?hello=1 and makes it /anyway?hello=1. This means it will not longer change the name of the server in the browser.

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[HTTP::status] eq 302} {
        if {[HTTP::header Location] starts_with "http"} {
            HTTP::header replace Location "/[getfield [HTTP::header Location] {/} 4]"
        }
    }
}
