iRule for URL rewriting

Sorry - I made a typo. "... as the internalurl.com should NOT be visible to the end user will the iRule take care for the http_respond back and remap the respond back to abc.externalurl.com?"

Does the iRule change if the VS is HTTPS ? Also as the internalurl.com should be visible to the end user will the iRule take care for the http_respond back and remap the respond back to abc.externalurl.com?

The reason I had in mind iRule is that it's more flexible and adding another context later would not be a problem. Where with clientside/serverside rewrite profile is static.

Hi,

if you are in version 11.4.0 or above, you can use a rewrite profile:

• clientside : http://abc.externalurl.com/something/
• serverside : http://something.internalurl.com/

or use the irule:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   set val1 [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 1]
   HTTP::host "$val1.internalurl.com"
   HTTP::uri [string map "$val1 /" [HTTP::uri]]
}

Sorry - I missed the "http://" on the redirect.

set my_location "http://$val1.internalurl.com/$val2"

Maybe something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   set val1 [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 1]
   set val2 [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 2]
   set my_location "$val1.internalurl.com/$val2"
   HTTP::Respond 301 Location "$my_location"
   log local0. "Redirecting to $my_location"
}

Cheers.
