HTTP Re-Direct and keep original URL in address bar

Hi Pav,

If you want to preserve the URL in the address bar, you don't want to send a redirect back to the client. Instead, you'll need to rewrite the HTTP host header and/or URI and possibly select a different pool if the virtual server's default pool doesn't serve content for the separate hostname. Here's a first try at what you're looking for:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    Check if requested host is domain.com or www.domain.com
   switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
      "www.domain.com" -
      "domain.com" {
          Matched the hostname, so rewrite the host header
 HTTP::header replace Host "www.abc.com"

  Select different pool for this request?
         pool www.abc.com_http_pool
      }
   }
}

If (or more likely, when) this doesn't work, can you use a browser plugin like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler for IE, to track what's happening?

Thanks, Aaron
