NimbostratusRewriting HOST+URI does not work
Hi,
I'm using the following iRule to let the BigIP redirect a request for /webfront to website-webfront.domain.com. The redirecting should go via the BigIP, not via the client.

Nimbostratusyour irule is confusing. Do you want webfront-web.domain.com or web-webfront.domain.com?
try this:
if { ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/webfront") } {
change host name option 1
HTTP::host "webfront-[HTTP::host]"
or option 2
HTTP::host "[substr [HTTP::host] 1 ".domain.com"]-webfront.domain.com"
trim uri
HTTP::uri [string map {"/webfront" ""} [HTTP::uri]]
}
NielsH_187296I would like subdomain-webfront.domain.com- Torti_93733then option 2 should work
- NielsH_187296Hmm, for some reason the internal application logs me out when applying this rule.
- Torti_93733are you running https or http on the backend ?

Is your application using cookies with authentication information? Perhaps the client stores a cookie from the initial servers response. Following requests are rewritten and references in server responses are pointing to another hostname. So the client will not send the initial cookie. In this case it would make sense to redirect the clients very first request to proper hostname and path instead of rewriting it.
