one rewrite url works and another does not.

Hello

 

I have written an iRule script to rewrite a url based on a condition-

 

http://intfilings.abc.gov/navigator_icm/?desktop=xyz should rewrite to

 

http://intfilings.abc.gov/EFilingWeb/ManageTicklers should rewrite to

 

Here is the iRule script- When HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::header host] equals "intfilings.abc.gov" && [HTTP::header uri] starts_with "/navigator_icm" } { HTTP::header replace Host "server1.ct.gov:9081" } if { [HTTP::header host] equals "intfilings.abc.gov" && [HTTP::header uri] starts_with "/EFilingWeb" } { HTTP::header replace Host "server2.ct.gov:9080" }

 

}

 

Whichever URL i click on first works and then the other does not.

    You have an error in your code, [HTTP::header uri] will look for a header called 'uri', whereas I assume you mean HTTP::uri.

    You are also checking for the same header twice so I've put it in one 'if' statement as well as adding a couple of lines of logging that may help troubleshooting. You also may want to consider using string tolower if this is accessed via a browser as URI is case sensitive. Please try the following.

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if {[HTTP::header "Host"] equals "intfilings.abc.gov"} {
        if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/navigator_icm"} {
            log local0. "replacing host on URI: [HTTP::uri]"
            HTTP::header replace Host "server1.ct.gov" 
        } elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/EFilingWeb"} {
            log local0. "replacing host on URI: [HTTP::uri]"
            HTTP::header replace Host "server2.ct.gov"
        }
    }
}

     

    You can also perform the same functionality using LTM Traffic Policies, these are recommended for simple iRules such as these.

    Hi,

    can you try this (I dont' think it's necessary to add port in host header...):

     

    When HTTP_REQUEST {

if { [HTTP::host] equals "intfilings.abc.gov" && [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/navigator_icm" } {
    HTTP::header replace Host "server1.ct.gov:9081"
 }

 if { [HTTP::host] equals "intfilings.abc.gov" && [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/EFilingWeb" } {
    HTTP::header replace Host "server2.ct.gov:9080"
 }

}

     

    So can you try with port in host header an without please

    try this for logging (irule from Lee with logging request not matching any of 2 conditions)

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if {[HTTP::host] equals "intfilings.abc.gov"} {
        if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/navigator_icm"} {
            log local0. "replacing host header with : server1.ct.gov on URI: [HTTP::uri]"
            HTTP::header replace Host "server1.ct.gov" 
        } elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/EFilingWeb"} {
            log local0. "replacing host header with : server2.ct.gov on URI: [HTTP::uri]"
            HTTP::header replace Host "server2.ct.gov"
        } else {
            log local0. "Unchanged host header on URI: [HTTP::uri]"
        }
    }
}
