Problem with Proxy Pass iRule

Hi David,

 

Can you please post your iRuleand provide this post the debugs along with the contents of the STREAM profile. This will certainly help the iRule community look at your code and see if there is any misstep and provide some advise or direction.

 

 

Thanks,

Hi David,

 

What version is the LTM at?

 

 

thanks,

Version 10.1.0 Build 3341.0

Hi David,

 

There is a v10 of the ProxyPass for 10.x builds

This might set you back on the right path

Sorry, I sent the wrong link. I am using the ProxyPass v10.2.

It looks like no matching rules are found as the client is requesting the VS on port 80, but you have the datagroup set for a source of testvip..net:8020. Are you trying to only remove the :8020 port from the server's response headers and/or content?

I was playing with the ProxyPass rule initially because of the debug capabilities. A stripped down rule to perform what I am attempting is below. I am trying to modify the hostnames in URLs.

 

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

 

if { [HTTP::header exists "Accept-Encoding"] } {

 

HTTP::header remove "Accept-Encoding"

 

log local0. "$log_prefix: Removed Accept-Encoding header"

 

Disable the stream filter by default

 

STREAM::disable

 

 

Check if response type is text

 

if {[HTTP::header value Content-Type] contains "text"}{

 

 

Match any http:// instance and replace it with nothing

 

STREAM::expression {@URL=http://qj1cen00.na..net:8020/@URL=http://testvip..net:8020/@}

 

 

Enable the stream filter for this response only

 

STREAM::enable

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

when STREAM_MATCHED {

 

log local0. "Stream matched [STREAM::match]"

 

}

Can you remove the Accept-Encoding header from the requests? This prevents the server from sending compressed responses. And do you really want the client to make a request to the test VS on port 8020?

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [HTTP::header exists "Accept-Encoding"] } {
      HTTP::header remove "Accept-Encoding"
      log local0. "$log_prefix: Removed Accept-Encoding header"
   }
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {

    Disable the stream filter by default
   STREAM::disable

    Check if response type is text
   if {[HTTP::header value Content-Type] contains "text"}{

       Set the replacement string
      STREAM::expression {@URL=http://qj1cen00\.na\.\.net:8020/@URL=http://testvip..net:8020/@}

       Enable the stream filter for this response only
      STREAM::enable
   }
}
when STREAM_MATCHED {
   log local0. "Stream matched [STREAM::match]"
}

It works. It was the compression that kept the Stream profile from working.

 

 

In the long run, I will not want to use 8020, but was working on a proof of concept.

 

 

Thank you very much Aaron
