I need to remove host from url and send it to particular pool

Dear joe,

 

I do not want the rest of the URI to be (/foo/bar) stripped off , it should remain as it is.

 

For option 2) and 3) the rest of uri what you mentioned as /foo/bar portion will keep on changing and that should be send as original to server.i.e. I need /foo/bar as it is.

 

My problem is that I canot specify uri must be some fix value, as it will keep on changing if we browse within that page, only first.test.com portion will remain same for example 1)

 

 

 

I am giving example:--

 

 

user can request :--

 

 

a)http://main.test.com/first.test.com/jui/yui/opi

 

b)http://main.test.com/first.test.com/diff/one/two

 

c)http://main.test.com/first.test.com/diff/one/two

 

so on.

 

 

I need that big ip should do neccessary changes and send this user requests to server as below:--

 

a)http://first.test.com/jui/yui/opi

 

b)http://first.test.com/diff/one/two

 

c)http://first.test.com/diff/one/two

 

respectively

 

 

I tested your irule, now it is sending the request by replacing main.test.com as first.test.com as below:--

 

http://first.test.com/first.test.com/jui/yui/opi

 

which is not correct it should be :--

 

http://first.test.com/jui/yui/opi

 

 

To solve above problem, I tried with keeping replace "host" value blank but in this case big ip sends request as below:--

 

http:///first.test.com/diff/one/two

 

above you can see, after http: 3 forward slash are coming.

 

 

Other option which I can not use is specify uri exactly as only first.test.com portion of uri is same but later portion of uri keeps on changing.

 

 

I am near to get solution by using your solution, only problem is that, we need to modify Irule suggested by you so that bigip will replace the host as suggested in irule and will remove only first.test.com portion of uri and rest it will send as it is.

 

 

I think now problem is very much clear.

 

 

Kindly provide me the solution if it is not possible to do it on Big ip let me know.

 

 

Waiting for your valuable suggestion.

 

 

Thanks
