May 11, 2010Rewrite rule to single file
Hi all,
this is what we have to do:
typing http://www.aaa.com/xxx
you must be redirect to
http://www.bbb.com/yyy/file.html
but the final domain must be rewritten in order to obtain
http://www.aaa.com/yyy/file.html. (file.html is not a default for the destination http server)
We configured iRules with the external pool (www.bbb.com is an external domain)
The question is: is it possible to do this pointing at a single file?
Thanks in advance

Hi FraFra,
If you are doing a redirect based on the incoming URL, then you can pretty much tell it explicitly to do anything that you want.
In this case your flipping the [HTTP::host] from aaa.com to bbb.com, and replacing the [HTTP::uri] /xxx with /yyy/file.html (which are all fine to do in a redirect). As long as you know the explicitly translation you can do this:when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] equals "www.aaa.com" and [HTTP::uri] contains "/xxx" } { HTTP::redirect "http://bbb.com/yyy/file.html" } }
If you want to be more dynamic let me know and I can work with you to get you what you need.
If you have need of it, then this is an iRule that will just flip the Domain Name:
In your case it would do this (keeping the URI intact):
http://www.aaa.com/xxx
to
http://www.bbb.com/xxxwhen HTTP_REQUEST { if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] contains "www.aaa.com"}{ set host [string map -nocase {www.aaa.com www.bbb.com} [HTTP::host]] HTTP::redirect "http://$host[HTTP::uri]" } } - Ale66
