looking for about a workaround to implement mod alias from apache

Hi,

 

i want to migrate an web application hosted on apache server on F5 big IP. The configuration apache use the mod alias (by example: /test "c:/test/test/test/"). The plug-in "test" (ibm hod) is configured on apache. Of course, that's not possible to install this plug-in on f5 so i'll install the plug-in on the remote server. I want to implement an alias from f5 big ip to this remote server.

 

What's the possibilities i have to implement this on f5 ? Somebody has already confronted to this operation or perhaps there are other workaround possible ...

 

Thank you so much for your collaboration

    You need to be more specific about what you want the LTM to do with an HTTP request.

     

    You can modify the request URI, or rewrite response content as required, using a number of methods.

     

    The configuration apache use the mod alias (by example: /test "c:/test/test/test/")

     

    This is the apache mapping from a HTML path to the file storage disk location - the LTM does not have any role in this process, as it is related to the origin web server behaviour (i.e the pool member serving the content).
