Redirect to a different folder hosted by a different pool

Hi Manual,

The following is VERY simple example of redirect

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
     if {HTTP::uri eq "hello" } { HTTP::redirect "http://www.abc.com/hello_1" } 
 } 
 

I hope this helps

Hi cmbhatt,

 

 

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes that would work if hello_1 was hosted by the same pool/servers. The problem here is that we need to send that request to a different pool (not the default) and the host is the same (www.abc.com).

 

 

Thanks again.

Hi Manuel,

You can try this:

 
  when HTTP_REQUEST {  
      if {[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals "/hello" } {  
            HTTP::uri "/hello_1" 
             pool my_other_pool 
           } else { 
            pool my_default_pool 
           } 
 } 
  
 

Regards.

It's not clear whether you want to redirect or re-write the URI. josantia's solution re-writes the URI, but only for exactly that URI.

If you want to re-write the existing URI by simply replacing the name of the first directory, you can do it like this:

 when HTTP_REQUEST {   
     if {[getfield [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] "/" 2] equals "hello" } {   
        HTTP::uri [string map {"/hello" "/hello_1"} [HTTP::uri]]   
        pool my_other_pool    
     } else {    
        pool my_default_pool    
     }   
   }   
   

If you want to redirect the same way (preserving the URI), you can do it like this:

 when HTTP_REQUEST {   
     switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {   
        "/hello1*" { pool my_other_pool }   
        "/hello*" { HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/hello_1[substr [HTTP:uri] 6]" }   
        default { pool my_default_pool }   
     }   
   }

/deb

Oops, sorry, that first example doesn't work since the first directory is a substring. of the 2nd. Adjusted to extract the first directory name with getfield instead of using starts_with
