Irule Transparent Ridiredt

As nitass indicated, At the very least the HTTP::header replace Host and HTTP::uri commands will transparently change the Hosts header and URI on the ingress flow. The HTTP::redirect command sends the user a physical 302 redirect (which alters the browser URL). There are some potentially dangerous assumptions being made though:

 

 

1. Any request for "/" will need to be redirected to "/elmdev/signon.html"

 

3. The application server isn't sending back any references to its physical location and paths in references to embedded objects and redirects

 

 

For a more robust solution that handles all of the translations between the client side and server side (hosts, port, URIs, pools, etc.), please take a look at the ProxyPass iRule.
