Is this valid? Http:query

Here's a breakdown of the common URI commands:

 

 

http://www.example.com:8080/path/to/file.ext?param1=value1&param2=value2

 

 

[HTTP::host] = www.example.com:8080

 

[HTTP::uri] = /path/to/file.ext?param1=value1&param2=value2

 

[HTTP::path] = /path/to/file.ext

 

[HTTP::query] = param1=value1&param2=value2

 

 

[HTTP::query] returns the query string from a URI (everything after the ?). Is your "whatever-gets-typed-next" in the query string or part of the path? If the former, what you have there should work.

I have a feeling you were already attempting to handle this within a switch statement, leading me to be believe you want to be able to handle multiple uris....

 

 

 

may I suggest something like the following:

 

 

 

rule replace_uri {

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

switch -regexp "[string tolower [HTTP::uri]]" {

 

"^/compute/v1/" {

 

set replace_uri [string replace [HTTP::uri] 0 11 "/compute/v2/"]

 

HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://[HTTP::host]$replace_uri"

 

}

 

"^/some/other/uri/you/want/to/replace/" {

 

set replace_uri [string replace [HTTP::uri] 0 35 "/some/other/target/"]

 

HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://[HTTP::host]$replace_uri"

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

this "switches" against the uri to look for a "/compute/v1/" at the beginning of the uri. if it finds it, it creates a variable, replace_uri, where it replaces string indices 0 to 11 (that is "/compute/v1/") with "/compute/v2/". It then redirects to http://[HTTP::host]$replace_uri

 

 

 

the second conditional "switch" looks for "/some/other/uri/you/want/to/replace/" at the beginning of the uri. if it finds it, it creates a variable, replace_uri, where it replaces string indices 0 35 (that is "/some/other/uri/you/want/to/replace") with "/some/other/target/". It then redirects to http://[HTTP::host]$replace_uri

 

 

 

if neither conditional is met in the switch statement, then nothing happens
