mapping an external FQDN name to an Internal FQDN one

 

Hi Aaron,

 

 

When running fiddler i get only 404's errors. Following a successful first request on the main page. F5 reverts back to the external FQDN and tries external.domain.com/someimage.gif instead of internal.domain.com/someimgae.gif. So no need of is_redirect. for the HTTP::header replace that is what i used in my irule above.

 

 

I thought i might disable the compression to allow for the stream expression to work.

 

 

I create an empty stream profile,

 

I added the following at the top of "when HTTP_REQUEST":

 

 

Disable the stream filter for all requests

 

STREAM::disable

 

remove the compression offerings from the client

 

HTTP::header remove "Accept-Encoding"

 

....

 

 

Then created this:

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

STREAM::expression "@external.domain.com@internal.domain.com@"

 

STREAM::enable

 

}

 

 

My problem is the encoding is still happening ( I see Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate under Client using Fiddler) even though i have the instruction above and i made sure the http profile for the VS is using selective for the compression.

 

 

any idea on what is going on?

 

 

thanks
