Problem figuring out how to rewite what is sent to pool

I was thinking about something like this, but it is for the simplest case and is not tested:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set pathvar [HTTP::path]
    string map {"/tr1" ""} $pathvar
    HTTP::path $pathvar 
}

There is a lot to consider though...

-Would /tr1 show up anywhere else in a URL that is valid?

-Should the user see the new path in their address bar or not?

-Do we need to do this for every case or should there be some logic?

Hope that helps...

Sorry, I have been out on vacation for the weekend. Thanks for responding.

 

 

We have 2 servers on the backend that can generate an URL. By default it looks like this; https://server.ip/W.aspx?9293430

 

 

Both generate the same format as well you can put anything between the https:// and the /W.aspx?. I wanted to have it generate something like this; https://FQDN/tr1/W.aspx?23kd93 and https://FQDN/tr2/W.aspx?234f3234

 

 

That way I can tell which URLs are coming from which server. On the front end, it looks like the above, and depending on the dir (/tr1/ or /tr2/) I will send it to that pool, strip off the dir and just give it the ./W.aspx? to that server to retrieve the image and pass it back to the client.

 

 

I hope this makes sense.

 

 

Thanks

OK, how about this:

 
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set pathvar [HTTP::path]
    if { [HTTP::path] contains "/tr1" }{
        string map {"/tr1" ""} $pathvar
        HTTP::path $pathvar 
        pool pool_tr1
    }
    elseif { [HTTP::path] contains "/tr2" }{
        string map {"/tr2" ""} $pathvar
        HTTP::path $pathvar 
        pool pool_tr2
    }
}

Can I send you the irule we currently have so you can see what is currently being used and maybe you can see how this needs to work?

Hi Chuck,

 

 

You could post an anonymized copy of the iRule to get feedback.
