Hi Guys,
Have a requirement and I'll try to provide as much details as possible to help understand.
Internet users views web page, and posts web form to: htps://www.mysite.com/help/site1/...

Noctilucent
NoctilucentDifferent Protocol ( https vs. http)
this is done on the 1st f5 by assigning clientssl profile to virtual server. clientside will be https but serverside will be http.
Different Hostname ( www.mysite.com vs. news.bizsite.com)
you can change hostname using HTTP::header replace on either the 1st f5 or 2nd f5.
HTTP::header
https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/irules.http__header.ashx
Different Port : 443 vs. 8080
this is translated by virtual server and pool configuration.
everything after the "/help/site1" is passed to the the target webserver.
similar to hostname, uri can be changed using HTTP::uri.
HTTP::uri
https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/irules.http__uri.ashx
Users\Internet browser should only see "https://www.mysite.com/help/site1/..." and NOT the HTTP://news.bizsite.com:8080/ehelp/microsites
address in browser won't be changed unless there is redirection.
ERLomboy_27803Hi Nitass, Thanks for the assistance. Would very much appreciate if you can provide the iRule syntax since I have a very little room for error as this will be done in Production environment. Thanks, Edward
