irule replace and modify uri and response
- Jul 18, 2022
If I understand you correctly, you need to alter the stream expression in your HTTP_RESPONSE event, based either on the pool that was selected or the URI you received, during the HTTP_REQUEST event.
Note that you may need to capture that in a variable in the HTTP_REQUEST event, and check the variable in the HTTP_RESPONSE event, because you might only be able to use certain API functions inside certain events.
Something like:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
set orig_uri [HTTP::uri]
# the rest of your logic
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
STREAM::disable
if {([HTTP::status] == 200) && ([HTTP::header value Content-Type] contains "text") } {
switch -glob -- [string tolower $orig_uri] {
"/ris1*" {
STREAM::expression {@http:@https:@ @/[Nn]ovaris@/ris1@}
}
"/ris2*" {
STREAM::expression {@http:@https:@ @/[Nn]ovaris@/ris2@}
}
"/ris3*" {
STREAM::expression {@http:@https:@ @/[Nn]ovaris@/ris3@}
}
}
STREAM::enable
}
}(There are other optimisations that might shorten this, but you should get the gist)
Note that I have also changed the expression for your http/https rewrite to http:/https: (note the colon), so that any https:// URI returned by the downstream server is not rewritten to httpss://.
You may also need to handle a case-sensitive response back from the downstream server (I presume you would need to rewrite /Novaris or /novaris for instance). To that end, you may need to make your stream search expression something like...
@/[Nn][Oo][Vv][Aa][Rr][Ii][Ss]@/ris1@
...so it handles upper- and lower-case.

Hi,
If the stream expression string starts or ends with space, it won't work.
It looks neater with space, but it shouldn't. 🙂# This will work STREAM::expression {@IE@Apache@ @Windows@Linux@} # and this will work STREAM::expression [list "@IE@Apache" "@Windows@Linux@"] # but this will NOT work-- notice the space between the '{' and the '@' STREAM::expression { @IE@Apache@ @Windows@Linux@ }

Great point -- I have updated my example above.
I do love TCL but, coming form other languages, their decision to use braces as a string-literal delimeter always catches me out!
