NimbostratusRewrite external URL to an internal URL
I am new to F5 and therefore have a question. I am sure it can be handled by the F5 but want to confirm before having the discussions.
We are currently running an application with a url of * There has been a requirement to change the external url to * (The URL that people see in their browser) I can use a redirect but then the old url would show in the client browser.
Usually I would do this at the Apache Server level by adding a URL rewrite. I think it would be more efficient to put the rewrite rule in place at the F5.
Is this possible and what would the rule look like?
Thank in advance
Leon

its possible code should be somewhat like this.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
"/host/web/content/*" -
HTTP::respond 301 Location ";
}
}
leonpc01_308189Thank you for your response. If I use this rule, would it not just redirect to the old url and show the old url in the browser?
So in the browser would I not see in the browser after the F5 redirected the connection?
