Altostratusirule for request and response
All,
Looking to irule a request and response header edit for https://example.com/x/y
So, that when user inputs https://example.com/x/y , request is sent to server as https://example.com/y
Anything input into y as a string is request to server.
I have created this:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::path] equals "/x/y" }{
HTTP::redirect "/y/"
}
}
This returns above irule https://example.com/y . but, the ask is to add x back to the response and return https://example.com/x/y to the user.
The parts I am working on now are the response edit and how to use the string input by the user - y - to reflect anything. Similarly, to x when responding back.
MikesisavSo, I got some direction...
Here are the three possible paths :
/x
/y
/z
Each could have another resource behind the initial path i.e. /x/ping or /x/file or z/path or z/box.
The other resource /ping or /file or /path or /box is what I don't know will be called but needs to be requested to the server and /x, /y, or /z needs to be edited out and only the second resource needs to be sent to server.
So user puts in /x/ping and /ping gets request to server.
Similarly, when the response is sent back the first resource needs to be added back. As in if we called /x/ping, x would be add back from the server that only was called /ping.
So.. all that written, let me see how to apply the below with x.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/x/1" } {
#Comment:The string map is used to replace the uri value from /uri/1 to /uri/2.
HTTP::uri [string map {"/x/1/" "/x/2"} [HTTP::uri]]
pool pool_x
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/x/2" } {
HTTP::uri [string map {"/x/2/" "/x/1"} [HTTP::uri]]
}
So, with the three first resources - x, y, z - and this all being one virtual server, would I just create three irules and apply them all to the one virtual server?
