redirerect based on CONNECT hostname

Hi,     can anyone tell me how to get the intended recipient of an HTTPS CONNECT request in an irule. i have been assuming that there would be an HTTP::host header as part of the CONNECT method ...

So it looks like the CONNECT method doesn't require the Host header then. Can you add some logging to see what you're getting for the HTTP::uri and other headers?


when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [HTTP::method] == "CONNECT" }{
      log local0. "Host: [HTTP::host]"
      log local0. "URI: [HTTP::uri]"
      set cnt 0
      foreach aHeader [HTTP::header names] {
         log local0. "h$cnt: $aHeader: [HTTP::header $aHeader]"
         incr cnt
      }
   }   
}

[edited to just log for CONNECT requests]
