Modifying Header Location

Hi,

 

 

You should have a look here: Click here

 

 

It is a similar request (a little more complicated in fact) that should help you to resolve yours.

It worked great and tested correctly. Now I been trying to make it work with the 7 different servers \server01\ to \server07\. Is there a better way to do this besides just doing if.....elseif statements seven times?

 

 

Thanks for your help

You should have a look at the switch command: Click here

Here is an example

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

if { [HTTP::status] contains "302"} && [string tolower [HTTP::header Location]]contains "server01" }

 

 

then {HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {"server01" "www.site.com"} [HTTP::header Location]] }

 

 

elseif { [HTTP::status] contains "302" && [string tolower [HTTP::header Location]]contains "server02" }

 

 

then {HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {"server02" "www.site.com"} [HTTP::header Location]] }

 

 

elseif { [HTTP::status] contains "302" && [string tolower [HTTP::header Location]]contains "server03" }

 

 

then {HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {"server03" "www.site.com"} [HTTP::header Location]] }

 

again thanks for your help

 

Hi,

Should looks like this (i didn't tested the syntax):

   
   when HTTP_RESPONSE {   
      if { [HTTP::status] contains "302"} {   
          switch  [string tolower [HTTP::header Location]] {   
               "server01" {   
                       HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {"server01" "www.site.com"} [HTTP::header Location]] }    
                "server02" {   
                       HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {"server02" "www.site.com"} [HTTP::header Location]]}   
                 "server03" {   
                       HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {"server03" "www.site.com"} [HTTP::header Location]] }   
          }   
     }   
   }   
   

You should even be able to make it like this:

   
   when HTTP_RESPONSE {   
      if { ([HTTP::status] contains "302") and ([string tolower [HTTP::header Location]] contains "server")} {   
        HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {"server01" "www.site.com" "server02" "www.site.com" "server03" "www.site.com" } [HTTP::header Location]]    
     }   
   }   
   

Since you are testing the entire location header for server01, server02, or server03, why the need for a string map? Wouldn't the following do the same thing? Oh, and you might want to change the string comparison for the HTTP::status compare to a numeric equals as that will perform faster.

when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
   if { [HTTP::status] == 302 } { 
     switch [string tolower [HTTP::header Location]] { 
       "server01" - 
       "server02" - 
       "server03" { 
         HTTP::header replace Location "www.site.com" 
       } 
     } 
   } 
 }

*Note, this does an exact comparison for the values of serverXX as the Location header. If you really want to do a "contains", you could use -glob with the switch and add asterisks to the beginning and end of the comparison strings.

Agree i just created the switch code without thinking optimization ... my mistake!

for some reason the switch command is not doing the change on the location header value, any reasons?

 

 

 

thanks
