fLyf5_21542Sorry, for the confusion, below is my requirement
/directory/ http://10.0.0.1:8123/new-directory- fLyf5_21542But the end user should not see new-directory

Can you explain what you want to happen with non-/directory/ requests? Do you want them to go to the same server(s) as /directory/ requests? Or separate server(s)? Do you know if the host header needs to be rewritten?
Here's a guess at what you mean. This assumes you want /directory/ requests sent to one set of server(s) and non-/directory/ requests to go to the virtual server's default pool. I'm also rewriting the URI from /directory/ to /new-directory/ and updating the host header value to the server IP and port.when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { Save the name of the VS default pool set default_pool [LB::server pool] } when HTTP_REQUEST { Check the requested URI switch -glob [HTTP::uri] { "/directory/*" { Select a custom pool for these requests pool directory_pool Replace /directory/ with /new-directory/ in the URI HTTP::uri [string map {/directory/ /new-directory/} [HTTP::uri]] Track that we will replace the Host header on these requests set rewrite_host 1 } default { pool $default_pool set rewrite_host 0 } } } when HTTP_REQUEST_SEND { Rewrite the host header to the selected server IP:port if {$rewrite_host}{ clientside { HTTP::header replace Host "[IP::server_addr]:[TCP::server_port]" } } }
Aaron- fLyf5_21542Thanks Aron
1. The request to be forwarded to a pool, but the uri to be changed from /directory/ to /new-directory/
2. When the response traffic comes, /new-directory/ to be change back to /directory/ as this to be transparent with end user browser.
3. I understand above iRule will change the uri and http header when the traffic is forwarded to pool member, I would like to know this will replace the uri back when server responds to client
...fLy - fLyf5_21542Please guide me in this case :(
...fLy - hoolioHi Fly,
I'd first test to see if the application includes references to /new-directory/ in the response content. If it doesn't, you don't need to worry about rewriting the response content. If you do need to, you can rewrite the response content using a blank stream profile and an STREAM::expression based iRule:
