Redirecting the URI

Hi Aaron,

 

 

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to tell you that access to the root directory browsing has been disabled on these servers.

 

ie.., If I want to access these servers directly (bypassing the Big-IP) I can only access -

 

 

http://server1.com:30945/GroupServer/en/

 

&

 

http://server2.com:40702/primaveraweb

 

and nothing else.

 

 

In short, I CANNOT access the data just by typing http://server1.com:30945/ nor http://server2.com:40702/ in the browser. I need to type the full URL to get the content.

 

 

I believe the below if statement in your suggested iRule will not work -

 

 

if {[HTTP::path] starts_with "/timesheets"}{

 

log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Matched /timesheets check"

 

pool timesheets_http_pool

 

 

because, this would just make the Big-IP try to fetch the data from http://server1.com:30945/ & NOT from http://server1.com:30945/GroupServer/en/.

 

 

Also, the same goes with the 'else' statement -

 

 

else {

 

pool default_http_pool

 

 

Hope, I am clear in my explanation.

 

 

I tried the following iRule (without logging), and I was able to make it only the 'timesheets' part work but NOT the 'primaveraweb' part -

 

 

b rule abc_com_rule {'

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/timesheets"} {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/GroupServer/en" } elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/GroupServer/en"} {

 

pool timesheets_http_pool } elseif {[HTTP::uri] eq "/"} {

 

HTTP::uri "/primaveraweb"} elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/primaveraweb"} {

 

pool primaveraweb_http_pool }

 

}

 

'}

 

 

Am I missing something or is there a better way to accomplish this?

 

 

Regards,
