Redirect POST data while load balancing GET iRule

I am quite sure I understand your requirement thoroughly. here is what I think it is. you may try

you may change ext_uri variable to be your desired url

 
when RULE_INIT {
    set static::ext_url "http://10.10.71.3/test.post"
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
        
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::method]] eq "post" } {
        HTTP::collect [HTTP::header "Content-Length"]
    }    
}
when HTTP_REQUEST_DATA {
    set content " \
        "
        
    foreach p [split [HTTP::payload] &] {
        set name  [getfield $p = 1]
        set value [decode_uri [getfield $p = 2]]
        set content "${content}"
    }
    set content "${content}"
   
    HTTP::respond 200 content $content
}

feel free to let me know if you have any question

I meant to say "I am NOT quite sure...."

I'll have to try a variation on this and see how it does. Essentially I want to redirect the post data and nothing else; I realize my explanation was a little sketchy.

to explain more about iRule I posted

 

1) if method = post, it issues HTTP::collect, which will invoke HTTP_REQUEST_DATA

 

2) then it scan POST-data and prepare new content to respond to client. the new content will include

 

- form with all INPUT field names retrieved from POST-data

 

- the "action" parameter in the form points to external server

 

- all input fields are set as hidden (so client wont see the data during the process

 

- javascript that submit the form automatically

 

3) then irule reply to client with HTTP::respond command with content prepared in step2

 

 

so the idea is when client send post to BIG-IP, BIG-IP replies with html page which contains a form. the form contains post-data that client just sent. the form will be auto-submit by javascript
