NimbostratusKeep original URL after HTTP::redirect
Hello
Aaron kindly wrote the following irule, which works a treat, but is it possible after the redirect to keep the original url in the browser ???
when HTTP_REQUEST {
log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: New [HTTP::method] request to [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] starts_with "preview.www."} {
log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Redirecting to preview2.www.[getfield [string tolower [HTTP::host]] preview.www. 2]"
HTTP::redirect "http://preview2.www.[getfield [string tolower [HTTP::host]] preview.www. 2]" } }
although preview.www. has redirected to preview2.www can the broswer still say preview.www."any domain name"

If you want to keep the original URI, you would need to not redirect the client to a new URL. Instead you can rewrite the Host header using:
HTTP::header replace Host "preview2.www.[getfield [string tolower [HTTP::host]] preview.www. 2]"
If you want full blown proxying of the preview2 site, you could try the ProxyPass or ProxyPassV10 iRules in the Codeshare (Click here).
