HTTP Redirect when Server is Redirecting

team hi,

 

IHAC on which they wanted to hide the URI from the browser so it will be transparent from the user side that there is a rewrite or redirect

 

Ex. www.mysite.com/partner -> will go to PARTNER_POOL but the browser will just show www.mysite.com

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { not ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/partner") } {

 

HTTP::uri /reseller[HTTP::uri]

 

} {pool PARTNER_POOL}

 

}

 

 

However, it seems that the client is stll seeing the redirection from the browser.

 

From the way I see it, it might be the webserver is sending the redirect to the client

 

 

Will this be in the HTTP_REPONSE section, verify that it is a redirect, retrieve the "Location" header, and modify the contents of the "Location" header to be correct for your application?

 

Need help on iRule. Will this be on the HTTP_RESPONSE?

    }i think the example and irule you gave are not consonant, aren't they??

    Will this be in the HTTP_REPONSE section, verify that it is a redirect, retrieve the "Location" header, and modify the contents of the "Location" header to be correct for your application?e.g. 

    [root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   pool foo
   destination 172.28.19.252:80
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
   profiles {
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b pool foo list
pool foo {
   members 200.200.200.101:80 {}
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
   HTTP::uri [string map {/partner /reseller} [HTTP::uri]]
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
   if { [HTTP::is_redirect] } {
      HTTP::header replace Location [string map {/reseller /partner} [HTTP::header Location]]
   }
}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  ssldump -Aed -nni 0.0 port 80
