Rewrite the content in URI with a short URL
- Jun 12, 2014
I am unable to update my original post. Here is an updated version.
If you simply want to mask URL's then apply a STREAM profile with the following iRule.
when HTTP_REQUEST { log local0. "..in HTTP_REQUEST" no replacement for requests STREAM::disable disable compression server side HTTP::header remove "Accept-Encoding" } when HTTP_RESPONSE { log local0. "...in HTTP_RESPONSE" only replace text content if {!([HTTP::header value Content-Type] contains "text")}{ return} set search "" foreach pair [class get myclass] { set search "$search@[lindex $pair 0]@[lindex $pair 1]@" } log local0. "String replace=$search" STREAM::expression $search STREAM::enable }
Then create a string data class myclass as follows...
Name Value /secureapp/connect/report_en/REP /en /peter /pan
And get the following output from a logs
Rule /Common/myrule : ...in HTTP_REQUEST Rule /Common/myrule : ...in HTTP_RESPONSE Rule /Common/myrule : search=@/secureapp/connect/report_en/REP@/en@@/peter@/pan@
And the resulting web page...
It works! /en /pan
Hi Kevin
Thanks for the detailed explanation !! Yes , the previous one is correct . I want any webpage with http://www.myweb.com/secureapp/connect/report_en/REP/XYZ to be displayed as http://www.myweb.com/en/XYZ in the users' browser . Also please note that whenever the URI is triggered in any other part of the web page (any other link present inside the webpage containing this URI ) , then also it should replace /secureapp/connect/report_en/REP/ with /en . I believe that iRule configuration you mentioned above would do that as well.
Also , do i need to simply apply this iRule to the Virtual Server OR apart from applying this iRule to VS , i have to create a separate Stream profile as well and then apply to the VS . I have not worked on Stream profile before and would like to know what needs to be filled in Source and Target part ?
