trying to redirect to new SAP PI Adapter url with Authorization .
when HTTP_REQUEST {
Debug off (0) , On (1)
set debug 1
SAP PI 7.3 standard RNIF Adapter uri
set pirnifuri "/MessagingSystem/receive/RNIFAdapter/RNIF"
If Inbound host matches the b2b hosts then redirect
if {[matchclass [http_host] equals pidxb2bhosts] and [HTTP::uri] equals "/RosettaNet" } {
inbound host and uri
if { $debug>=1 } {log local0. "PIDX:Inbound host and uri: [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"}
dev Redirect
if { [HTTP::host] starts_with "b2b0031" and [HTTP::uri] equals "/RosettaNet" } {
HTTP::header insert Authorization "Basic WElfQVgwMDFEVjAwOmxpdmU0ZnJlZTE="
set devsappihost [ class match -value dev equals sappihosts]
if { $debug>=1 } {log local0. "Redirecting to dev SAP PI"}
HTTP::redirect "http://$devsappihost$pirnifuri"
}
}

i understand HTTP::header insert will insert header to request toward pool member (server) but HTTP::redirect sends response back to client telling where the new location is. i mean they work in opposite direction.
- Kevin_StewartBasic authentication is a base64-encoding of the username and password:
ex.
demoAdmin:demoAdmin = ZGVtb0FkbWluOmRlbW9BZG1pbg==
So to set this in a header, just do this:set basicdata [b64encode "demoAdmin:demoAdmin"] HTTP::header insert Authorization "Basic $basicdata"
