ProxyPass iRule

I just posted an updated version of my ProxyPass iRule. What is ProxyPass you ask? It is a module in the Apache webserver that this iRule emulates. What does it do you ask? It modifies the Host header and/or URI of incoming requests so that it matches what the server expects to see. It also modifies Redirect responses to the client to provide the proper external URI for the browser.

 

 

Have you ever wanted to test a website but it expected to see a specific Host header value and you weren't providing it? Well, this can fix it. Have you ever wanted to present one common namespace on the internet for a variety of back-end web servers with varying hostnames? This can do it.

 

 

Here is the rule:
