HTTP to HTTPS redirect with URI editing.

Hi,

 

I am looking for HTTP (internal server) to HTTPS (external server) redirect.

 

link for internal server : http://abc.com/IT/Team/Data/ external link : https://xyz.com/location/Data/

 

I tried creating redirect using policy with following action

 

Target : http-reply Event : request Action : redirect Parameter : location https://xyz.com[HTTP::uri]

 

This works only if URI in original and redirected site is same as shown bellow

 

link for internal server : http://abc.com/IT/Team/Data/ external link : https://xyz.com/IT/Team/Data/

 

But in my case traffic get redirected using URL https://xyz.com/IT/Team/Data/

 

How I can update URI in redirected link so that it replace /IT/Team/ from URI to /location/

    Ok got the solution following rule works.

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::uri] contains "/IT/Team/"} { set uri [string map {"/IT/Team/" "/location/"} [HTTP::uri]] HTTP::redirect "https://xyz.com$uri" } }

    that will require an iRule, just search for path replacement irule or such here and you will find quite some examples.

      you can simplify it with this code (HTTP::path instead of HTTP::uri, starts_with instead of contains):

       

      when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if {[HTTP::path] starts_with "/IT/Team/"} { 
        HTTP::redirect "https://xyz.com[string map {"/IT/Team/" "/location/"} [HTTP::uri]]"
    } 
}

      of use a policy with action (version 12 minimum):

       

      redirect location : tcl:https://xyz.com[string map {"/IT/Team/" "/location/"} [HTTP::uri]]

      I have mapped DNS entry of Virtual Server to FQDN name abc.com using etc host file. so all http request with uri containing /IT/Team/ is redirected to xyz.com. But other request are getting dropped

       

      getting following message

       

      This page isn’t working abc.com redirected you too many times. Try clearing your cookies. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

       

      How to make other request to go to original site abc.com ?
