re writing the url

Hi Al,

 

 

Can you clarify what you're trying to accomplish? Do you want LTM to send an HTTP redirect to the client with a new host and/or URI? You can do this using HTTP::redirect or HTTP::respond. Doing so would update the URL displayed in the address bar to the new location that is sent in the redirect.

 

 

You could also rewrite the host and/our URI transparently on LTM before sending the request to the pool This would not be seen by the client and the address bar would not be updated, unless the application dynamically includes references to the requested host and/or URI in it's response headers or content.

 

 

Another option would be to have LTM rewrite the host and/or URI in redirects that the application sends to clients. You can do this by checking for redirects with HTTP::is_redirect and rewriting the Location header with HTTP::header replace Location $new_location.

 

 

If you can clarify what is happening now and what you need to implement, we can help you write an iRule to do it.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron
