CirrusPuli,
One other thing. I think the reason you are seeing the uri change in the browser is because even though you are rewriting the request, you are NOT rewriting the responses. Look at the HTTP headers (using something like LiveHTTP Headers for FireFox) and you will see that the responses from the server are sending your browser to the new uri WITH the /global. Try this:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/eng"}{
HTTP::path "/global[HTTP::path]"
}
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
Remove inserted path from HTTP responses
if { [HTTP::is_redirect]}{
HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {"/global" ""} [HTTP::header Location]]
} elseif {
[HTTP::header value "Content-Type"] contains "text"} {
STREAM::expression "@/global@@"
STREAM::enable
} else {
STREAM::disable
}
}
This will insert /global to each of the requests and remove it from the responses. You will need to add a generic stream profile to the VIP but I think it will give you what you are looking for.
