CirrusIrule Vs rewrite - FQDN hostname
CirrusOne last thing, there is a port needed for the pool side connection
CirrusBelow is what I have in 1 irule. Fails because the backend server is expecting---https://ServerName.Domain.com:8443/etc/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/something.html"
But I want the client browser to have the below once the server completes its jobs post request.
https://FQDN/etc/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/something.html
Hope this makes sense.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
# Check if requested host doesn't start with www.example.com
if {not ([string tolower [HTTP::host]] starts_with "https://FQDN/")}{
# Replace the host header value with newhost.example.com
HTTP::header replace Host "https://ServerName.Domain.com:8443/"
if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/" } {
set uri [string map -nocase {"/" "/etc/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/something.html"} [HTTP::uri]]
HTTP::uri $uri
}
}
}

You don't need to specify https nor the port on the host header, cause those are specified elsewhere, https is by using a ssl servers profile and the port is at the pool member.
Alsop testing if uri starts with / is useless since all uris stars with /.
If I understand correctly your requirement, why not first redirecting user to target path, then doing just the host replacement.
Something like this that :
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/"} { HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]/your/full/path/something.html" } else { HTTP::header replace Host ServerName.Domain.com } }- Mr__T
Thanks for the clarifications Amine_Kadimi.
Let me try this and report back.

I want to make sure I communicate the issue properly. The redirect covers the URL change in the request.The hostheader replace needs to happen on the response from the server back to the client keeping the existing uri from the redirect.
Thanks again.

Hi Amine_Kadimi,
This is what I have from your suggestion. The replace host does not seem to execute. redirection does happen.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/"}
{
HTTP::redirect "https://Servername:8443/etc/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/page.html"
}
else {
HTTP::header replace Host FQDN
}
}
