How to rewrite the status from 205 to 200
Hi :
I would like to rewrite http status code 205 to 200. I try to use http:respond 200 , However, the payload is erased , Any good sample for me to rewrite the status code and also keep my o...
Hmm good question! Unfortunately for some reason our HTTP developer did not provide any way to change the response code, but that does not mean you can’t do it. There are a couple of approaches to this problem.
If you know ahead of time that you will be getting a 205 request (special request method, request cookie etc) then you can do a TCP::collect on the server side and replace the response code using TCP::payload replace.
If if you don’t have the priveledge of knowing this ahead of time, you will need to write some thing like this ...
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
if {[HTTP::status] == 205}{
HTTP::collect [HTTP::header Content-Length]
}
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA {
HTTP::respond 200 content [HTTP::payload]
}
The first approach while a little bit more difficult, can be more superior because you will not be buffering unnecessary payload. But if the 205 response payload size is not very large then I would go with the second one.
