HTTP Redirect header localtion + uri

Hello,

 

 

I think it's safer to look for a 302 response code and replace the Location header's host value if it's set to the value you want to replace, rather than generating the full response in the example you quoted.

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
   if { [HTTP::status] contains "302" && [string tolower [HTTP::header Location]] contains "host_to_replace" }{
      log local0. "Original Location: [HTTP::header Location]"
      log local0. "New Location: [string map -nocase {"host_to_replace" "new_host"} [HTTP::header Location]]"
      HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {"host_to_replace" "new_host"} [HTTP::header Location]]
      log local0. "Replaced Location with: [HTTP::header Location]"
   }
}

 

 

Note: I left log statements in the rule to verify the replacement is being done as expected. The output is written to the /var/log/ltm log file. After you're done testing the rule, either comment out or delete the log lines.

 

 

I didn't test this completely, so repost here if you have any problems.

Hi

 

 

Thanks you for your reply and sorry for my delay reply because I have had to upgrade the F5 version for test this rule.

 

 

The rule work perfect but I also need to change port of Location header from 8060 to 80 in rewrite Location header reply.

 

 

 

Thanks for advance

 

 

Example

Hi,

If the original 302 redirect sent from the server contains a port, you can just add the original port to the rule in the string to replace. You don't need to specify the port in the string you are putting in, if it's 80, as it's the default port for http.

 
 when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
    if { [HTTP::is_redirect] && [string tolower [HTTP::header Location]] contains "host_to_replace:8060" }{ 
       HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {"host_to_replace:8060" "new_host"} [HTTP::header Location]] 
    } 
 }

Thanks ver much The las solutions do not change the location value and do not leave any logs. I look like I am not even starting and incident with the iRule.

 

This is the only one that has work so far, but only works for one server

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

if { [HTTP::status] contains "302" && [string tolower [HTTP::header Location]] contains "server01" }{ HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {"server01" "www.site.com"} [HTTP::header Location]]

 

}

 

}

Hi glazarte,
