Selective Proxying ala ProxyPass

Hi there,     We're currently evaluating migrating from our existing Apache web-farm to a F5 device, and our initial tinkering is throwing up some questions that I'd like to get some input on.....
application delivery

Cheers for the pointer...

 

 

In the end, i've set it up using the 'class match' and a iRule Data list of allowed URLs.

 

It also allows me to redirect to the application for any requests to a non-valid URL, rather than just rejecting the users request...

 

 

FYI, the code is:

 


when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::path] eq "/" || [HTTP::path] eq "" } {
        HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]/ApplicationA/logon"
    } elseif { not [class match [HTTP::path] starts_with ApplicationA_AllowedURLs] }{
        HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]/ApplicationA"
    } 
}

 

 

Regards
