ProxyPass v10/v11

*Note* We run a secure, closed network so there's very little detail I can share, but I'll do my best:

 

Question 1: We run TMOS 10.2.4. This is a reverse proxy problem. We're running a front end and back end web server with the same URI path (we inherited that bit, and, unfortunately, it can't be changed). When the user hits the front end: If the user enters https://frt-end-srvr.agency.gov/dir1/cgi-bin/query_app then stay on that front end server. If the user enters https://frt-end-srvr.agency.gov/dir1/cgi-bin/htmlgen.cgi then do a reverse proxy to the back end virtual server.

 

The string type data group is named set clname "ProxyPassIDW_Front_End_Test"

 

The string entered is "frt-end-srvr.agency.gov/dir1/cgi-bin/htmlgen.cgi" := "webprod.agency.gov:8080\dir1\cgi-bin\htmlgen.cgi

 

Other than removing the comment from the TMOSv10 related lines, we've not made any other changes to the iRule

 

 

Question 2: When running 10.2.4 is it necessary to have a traffic class defined in order for the iRule to work

 

Question 3: Does it matter if the initial call is HTTPS opposed to HTTP
