NimbostratusSimple URL host rewrite
I am trying to do a simple rewrite of the URL host. Currently when users type in the following: "https://mydomain.state.company.com" they are getting a security alert screen complaining that the name doesn't match the certificate. The certificate was generated with the name "mydomain.company.com"
I am trying to rewrite the URL so that host part of incoming requests will get changed to "mydomain.company.com"
However I can't seem to get it working right. The log never shows the rewrite. Am I missing something here? Any help would be appreciated.
Here is my rule
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::host] contains "state.company.com"} {
HTTP::header replace "Host" "mydomain.company.com"
log local0. "This is the new host: [HTTP::host]"
}
}
The log is showing:
Feb 8 10:41:04 tmm tmm[706]: Rule myrule_rewrite : This is the new host: mydomain.state.company.com

Kevin_NailThanks for the information.
I tried the code you suggested but to no avail. The redirect to https is not working either. I am still seeing the security alert.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin- Kevin_NailThanks Colin,
That kind of coding is beyond my understanding at this point. Can you give an example?
Regards,
Kevin - Actually, you wouldn't even need coding for this. I'd recommend looking into the stream profile if you're looking to re-write the HTTP payload the server is responding with. There is some good documentation of this in the user guides, I believe.
