HTTP::payload replace
I have 2 needs...1 to replace/hide the server in the http redirects that are being sent by the node. 2) to replace/hide the server in the actual content.
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
if...
initially each app server was putting in it's name and non-standart port - ie appserver1:8882, appserver2:8882. the stream profile for a multi-string search / replace was to put @appserver1:8882@dnsname.vip.com@ @appserver2:8882@dnsname.vip.com@ . That multi-search didn't work. They changed their appservers to put in dnsname.vip.com but couldn't stop the non-standard port. So either app server would had all the content / headers dnsname.vip.com:8882. I wrote an irule to handle the redirects and then used a simple stream profile like source "dnsname.vip.com:8882" target "dnsname.vip.com" .
I would also like to know how to limit the HTTP::response. What I was seeing w/ their content is that some of the HTTP headers had the Content-Length field and some didn't. I can also accurately say that when I was using the irule above, w/ the default content_length set to 5k we were repeatedly seeing a 16 second delay in hitting the initial long page. Normally, browsing directly to the page they would see 3-4 seconds to bring it up. With the original HTTP::response irule they would take 16-18 seconds to display the page.
