Rule to hide port in client side

Hi, this is my first post.

 

 

I' ve googled about how to do this rule, but I have no idea so far:

 

 

After doing a redirect this way:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]:9081/Login.jsp"

 

}

 

 

I want to hide port 9081 to the user, but internally still managing port 9081 with websphere.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Mr. hoollio,

     

     

    I already checked the section Rewrite HTTP Redirect Port, but is not what I am looking for, because I'd like to use the same port 9081 and hiding the TCP::local_port without showing any port in url.

     

     

    Checking the section STREAM::expression in the next example

     

     

    when HTTP_RESPONSE {

     

     

    Disable the stream filter by default

     

    STREAM::disable

     

     

    Check if response type is text

     

    if {[HTTP::header value Content-Type] contains "text"}{

     

     

    Match any http:// instance and replace it with nothing

     

    STREAM::expression {&http://.*?example\.com&&}

     

     

    Enable the stream filter for this response only

     

    STREAM::enable

     

    }

     

    }

     

    when STREAM_MATCHED {

     

    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::local_port]: matched: [STREAM::match], replaced with: [string map {http:// https://} [STREAM::match]]"

     

    STREAM::replace "[string map {http:// https://} [STREAM::match]]"

     

    }

     

     

     

    I think this example replaces the string for logging which is not useful at all.

     

     

    What I'm still looking for is a rule like this (with the correct sintax):

     

     

    when http:response {

     

    if {

     

    http: [gethost][port 9081]

     

    }

     

    hide_in_url port 9081

     

    http::redirect host:9081

     

    }

     

     

    Thanks in advance
