iRule to redirect a variable to http

can you post the question again? some text is missing because of devcentral's parser.

 

 

by the way, acme.com is not part of HTTP::uri. it is part of HTTP::host.

 

 

5-Minute iRules: What’s a URL?

 

http://devcentral.f5.com/weblogs/jason/archive/2010/09/29/5-minute-irules-whatrsquos-a-url.aspx

 

 

anyway, this is what i guess you are asking.

 

 

[root@ve1023:Active] config b virtual bar list

 

virtual bar {

 

destination 172.28.19.79:80

 

ip protocol 6

 

rules myrule

 

profiles {

 

http {}

 

tcp {}

 

}

 

}

 

[root@ve1023:Active] config b rule myrule list

 

rule myrule {

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[scan [HTTP::host] {%[^.].acme.com} first] == 1}{

 

HTTP::redirect "]"

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

[root@ve1023:Active] config curl -I http://test.acme.com/whatever

 

HTTP/1.0 302 Found

Hi thanks!

 

 

Here's the question -> convert http://XXXX.acme.com.nz ---------> http://XXXXX

 

you truncate acme.com.nz.

 

 

========

 

Yup that's it!

 

that was fast, thanks nitass.

Nitass hi,

 

 

How do i test this, if i have only VE Edition for LTM?

 

 

thanks!

can you map "xxxx.acme.com.nz" and "xxxx" to same ip address which is virtual server address in local hosts file on client?

Nitass hi,

 

 

Initially it worked, i put the names and ip on the hosts file, but got some queries:

 

 

My results with the iRule:

 

www.yahoo.com.acme.com.nz ----returns to ->" www" only..it should be: "www.yahoo.com"

 

www.yahoo.com.au.acme.com.nz/issue/jan2012/default.htm -- does not work.. :( should be: "www.yahoo.com.au/issue/jan2012/default.htm"

 

 

appreciate your help. thanks!

 

please feel free to revise.
