Odd issue with pools and a redirect

Hi Aaron,

 

 

My appologies up front for what I am about to ask, but I'm stuck for time.

 

 

The developers of this external site maintain they can't stop their redirects to a their specific base URL. So what happens is the client browser is honouring the redirects and navigating away from our URL. What I need is some iRule code that will allow me to detect these redirects and replace their base URL (external-server.acme.com.au) with our own (www.mycomp.com.au) so the end user always sees our base URL. The URI part is to remain unchanged. The port 82 dependancy has been removed which is one good thing, I'm just not sure of how to code for this. I'm using your example as a base but am not sure of what the HTTP::header replace statement should look like.

 

 

This is what I have so far

 

 
 when HTTP_RESPONSE {  
   if {[HTTP::is_redirect]}{   
   if {[HTTP::header Location] contains "external-server.acme.com.au"}{   
      HTTP::header replace Location       
 

 

 

which isn't much. I'm just not sure on how to construct the HTTP::header replace statement.

 

 

Regards
