NimbostratusReplace subdomain and remove path
Greetings,
I'm struggling with this :
I would like this : http://www.mysite.org/customfiles/mydoc.htm transformed into this: http://customfiles.mysite.org/mydoc.htm
Of course, there are several files, mydoc.htm is just an example. And the original site www.mysite.org must not be affected.
Note : This URL will be forwarded to a pool so I cannot use redirect.
I've written the following iRule:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::path] starts_with "/customfiles"} {
HTTP::path [string replace [HTTP::path] 0 12 ""]
HTTP::header replace Host "customfiles.onprvp.fgov.be"
pool my_pool
}
}
And nothing happens. In the F5 logs we only have a warning message saying the rule already exists on partition Common, but nothing else.
I suspect that the string replace isn't very happy but a string map gives the same.
What am I doing wrong ? 🙂

Olivier, by no means an expert but I'd use string range instead e.g.
HTTP::path [string range [HTTP::path] 0 12]Does this work for you?

It may be beneficial to verify that hyperlinks on those pages will continue to point to valid URLs.

I think counting may be the problem :-);

Hello all,
Thanks very much for your answers.
I have tried your suggestions but unfortunately it does not work :-(
I keep on searching and keep you informed of the results.Olivier

I have tried your suggestions but unfortunately it does not work :-(
have you run tcpdump to see what wrong is?
