Https to http redirect

Hi Keith--

 

 

Assuming I understand your problem correctly, you're not going to be successful without using a proxy that points at your (probably moved to the loopback) virtual server.

 

 

Specifically, I think you're trying to look inside a packet that's encrypted. Unless you terminate the encryption with a proxy, you'll not be able to do the redirect.

 

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply.

 

 

Perhaps a little more info.

 

 

www.somehost.org is our forward facing F5 which hosts the certs for everything behind it.

 

 

Pilot is a machine behind the F5.

 

 

Shouldn't the F5 be able to recognize the string in the incoming URI and do the redirect?

 

 

 

Thanks

 

 

 

 

Is the request coming in unencrypted? If it is (because it's terminated at the previous machine or at the current machine), you should be able to recognize the uri without a problem.

 

 

If it's *still* encrypted, we won't be able to see it unless it's terminated at a local proxy (which is targetted at a pool).

 

 

Good luck!
