ProxyPass problem

I even tested follow simple code (posted at http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&forumid=5&postid=59883&view=topic) to proxy client request http://www.site1.com/nilo to http://www.site1.com/bcda, it did not work, got same error.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

 

Initialize a variable to track whether to rewrite the response headers/content

 

set check_response 0

 

 

Check if the path is correct

 

if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/nilo"} {

 

Track that we'll rewrite the response headers and possibly the payload for this app

 

set check_response 1

 

}

 

}

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

 

Check if we're potentially rewriting the response headers/payload for this app

 

if {$check_response}{

 

 

Check if JSESSIONID cookie exists

 

if {[HTTP::cookie exists JSESSIONID]}{

 

 

Set the path on the cookie to /sdr/nilo so the client will send the cookie in requests for any path

 

HTTP::cookie path JSESSIONID "/sdr/nilo"

 

}

 

 

Check if the response is text

 

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

 

 

Set the replacement text and enable the stream filter

 

STREAM::expression {@/nilo/@/bcda/@}

 

STREAM::enable

 

 

} else {

 

Response isn't text, so disable the stream filter

 

STREAM::disable

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

By the way, www.site1.com/bcda/ is existed.

 

 

Thank you,

Hi Victor,

 

 

When you tested with the updated HTTP::header Host replace... command the logs show the rewrite worked:

 

 

When using 'HTTP::header replace Host $host_serverside', here is the log:

 

Jul 10 09:41:54 tmm tmm[1577]: Rule ProxyPass : beta, Host=www.site1.com, URI=/support/index.htm: Current Host header value: www.site2.com, URI: /support/index.htm

 

 

When you used the original iRule, it didn't work:

 

 

When using 'HTTP::header replace header_name: header_value' , here is the log:

 

Jul 10 10:04:59 tmm tmm[1577]: Rule ProxyPass : beta, Host=www.site1.com, URI=/support/index.htm: Current Host header value: www.site1.com, URI: /support/index.htm

 

 

Can you update the iRule to use 'HTTP::header replace Host $host_serverside' and test once more?
