HTTP Host modification

Howdy all,

 

In the middle of a mid-sized data center migration for our clients to a new set of F5s. We want to give clients the ability to test migration before we move them permanently. The idea is to give them a test URL or testclientname.companyname.com but have an iRule trim the "test" off the http host and redirect to their new production url clientname.companyname.com. Is that something that is possible?

    Hi Guy,

    Use this iRule: 
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::host] starts_with "test" } {
set new_host [string range [HTTP::host] 4 end]
HTTP::redirect "http://$new_host[HTTP::uri]
}
}
