Re-write HTTP host iRule

Yea it should be no problem

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

HTTP::header replace Host "newhost.example.com"

 

}

 

 

when HTTP_RESPOND {

 

HTTP::header replace Host "oringal.example.com"

 

}

Thanks Richard for your input ,, I will give it a try and update with the result ,,

I don't think there's a HTTP_RESPOND event - I doubled checked the Wiki. But, I don't think even using HTTP_RESPONSE would work as there isn't a host header in the response.

 

 

Hoolio (as always) has answered a similar request here using the stream command:

Hope I'm not mistaken and hope this helps.

Hi Nathan,

 

 

You're correct. Thanks for linking the other thread with the example. Gbps, if you get stuck with that example reply here with details on the iRule you're testing and what's not working.

You are right I meant

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

 

As for the host header in the response most likely the rewrite would be for the location field if the server is redirecting the client which would rewrite the browser URL. I did not read the question too closely. Though the header replace can be done using the iRUle it could also be done using HTTP classes.
