NimbostratusHTTP_URI Lookup Problem
I currently have a rule setup to look for the word "ecommerce" and then make a redirect to HTTPS. Here is the rule:
if (http_uri contains "ecommerce") {
redirect to "https://%h/%u"
}
But what I am looking to do is ONLY have it look past the domain name, for example "http://www.myurl.com/ecommerce". But it is actually redirecting even if "ecommerce" is anywhere in the URL. Like "http://www.myurl.com/um/user/showUserRegister.do?hello=ecommerce". How can I ONLY have it look directly after the domain?
Thanks,
Mike

- Hi Mike -
You can use the "getfield" function to split the URI string into 2 parts, split on the "?" character:if (getfield (http_uri, '?', 1) contains "ecommerce") { redirect to "https://%h/%u" }
(v9 introoduced a new command "HTTP::path" to extract only the URI path & filename without the trailing query parameters)

Mike_Pones_6391deb, thanks for the quick reply.
Since I an not too familier with url "stuff". Why would you chose to split it at the "?", is that common?
Thanks,
Mike- Generic URI syntax uses the ? character to delimit the start of the query string.
By splitting on the ?, you create 2 fields: the part before the ?, which is the actual resource being requested; and the part after the ?, which contains the query.
From RFC 3986 (URI Generic Syntax): Example URI with component parts:http://www.example.com:8042/over/there?name=ferretnose \__/ \__________________/\_________/ \_________/ \___/ | | | | | scheme authority path query fragment - Mike_Pones_6391Interesting I did not know that. I will give this a shot.
Thanks again,
Mike
