NimbostratusRetain the URL on Browser
Hello Team,
We have a requirement , where we have to retain the URL on the browser as is , However at the backend (pool member) user hits land on the other URL/URI. For example:
Actual URL (hit by user) : 123.abc.com/test (this has to be retain on user's browser , that is .. user should always see this URL on his browser).
At Backend (pool member) : This hit should forwarded or land on 123.XYZ.com/test (which is hosted on backend server).
In short, For end user, URL should not be change anyway.

eagertolearn The following iRule should be what you want. I did not put "XYZ" in capitalized letters because I believe the RFC states that the host section will always come across as lower case.
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED priority 500 { set DEFAULT_POOL [LB::server pool] } when HTTP_REQUEST priority 500 { if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] == "123.abc.com" } { HTTP::host [string map {"abc" "xyz"}[HTTP::host]] pool ${DEFAULT_POOL} } }

Hi Paulis
Thanks, but it's not working with pool.Providing more clarity :
1) slight addition in the backend URLActual URL (hit by user) - 123.abc.com/test1 , At Backend (pool member) : This hit should forwarded to 123.xyz-ha.com/test1
For end user, URL should not be change and he can only see 123.abc.com/test1 on his browser.
2) addition and changes in URI
Actual URL (hit by user) - 123.abc.com/test1 , At Backend (pool member) - This hit should forwarded or land on 123.xyz-ha.com/hello/check12
For end user, URL should not be change and he can only see 123.abc.com/test1on his browser.- Paulius
eagertolearn Number 2 contradicts Number 1. What is the reasoning of forwarding to the server on 123.xyz-ha.com/test1 to then just forward it to 123.xyz-ha.com/hello/check12 instead? Can you please provide your virtual server configuration to see if I missed anything because the above iRule should work for the original purpose.

Hi Paulius,
123.xyz-ha.com/hello/check12 is just the backend URL, But application team want to access it using 123.xyz-ha.com/test1 from browser.
