NimbostratusiRule redirect with URL masking and URI rewrite
Hi,
I am looking for a iRule to do a URL redirection and also appending a URI to the redirected URL. The redirected URL should be masked so that the client will not see that in the address bar. ...
Hi,
You can't achieve what you are expecting without using iframes. But I strongly discourage you to use them for security reasons.
You can instead redirect to a relative path and then forward the request to the correct backend server :
`
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] contains "buyer.abc.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/" } { HTTP::redirect "/apm/rest/MOBILITY/authService/1.0" return } if {[HTTP::host] contains "buyer.abc.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/apm/rest/MOBILITY/authService/1.0"} { node myserver01 9001 return } }`

NimbostratusThanks Yann for the response. I tested this, but still didn't work. So with the URL rewrite, is the client asked to access myserver01:9001, which is not resolved over Internet and that could be the cause of the issue?
