SSL Bridging with URL Rewrite
I need to terminate SSL, rewrite the URL and URI, then send to the new destination server with SSL.
I have this working, but the SSL session resumption is failing so I have to re-handshake for every call. For a 20 millisecond server call, 80 milliseconds of handshaking is a non-starter.
What am I doing wrong?
when HTTP_REQUEST {
#log local0. "host: [HTTP::host], uri: [HTTP::uri]"
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
"apps.svr1.oscplatform.site" -
"apps.svr2.oscplatform.site" -
"apps.svr3.oscplatform.site" {
# Example rewrite URL:
# apps.svr1.oscplatform.site/rerwite/example-service/blah
# Result after rule:
# example-service.apps.svr1.oscplatform.site/blah
# Removed the /rewrite/
set svc_uri [substr [HTTP::uri] 9]
#log local0. "svc_uri: $svc_uri"
# Splits the remaining URI into service name and original URI.
# 'example-service/blah' becomes 'example-service' and '/blah'
set part_count [scan $svc_uri {%[^?/#]%s} svc uri]
# If there was no original URI update it to blank.
if { $part_count == 1 } {
set uri ""
}
#log local0. "host: $svc.[HTTP::host] uri: '$uri'"
# Set the new host value.
HTTP::host "$svc.[HTTP::host]"
# Update URI to the correct value.
HTTP::uri "$uri"
}
}
# Set the value used in the SNI extension record.
# This is used in the SSL handshake to the destination server.
# This is how we implement SSL Bridging with a possible URL rewrite in the middle.
set sni_value [HTTP::host]
}
when SERVERSSL_CLIENTHELLO_SEND {
#log local0. "sni_value: $sni_value"
# SNI extension record as defined in RFC 3546/3.1
#
# - TLS Extension Type = int16( 0 = SNI )
# - TLS Extension Length = int16( $sni_length + 5 byte )
# - SNI Record Length = int16( $sni_length + 3 byte)
# - SNI Record Type = int8( 0 = HOST )
# - SNI Record Value Length = int16( $sni_length )
# - SNI Record Value = str( $sni_value )
#
# Calculate the length of the SNI value, Compute the SNI Record / TLS extension fields and add the result to the SERVERSSL_CLIENTHELLO
SSL::extensions insert [binary format SSScSa* 0 [expr { [set sni_length [string length $sni_value]] + 5 }] [expr { $sni_length + 3 }] 0 $sni_length $sni_value]
}

Your irule may require a
when SERVERSSL_HANDSHAKE { SSL::renegotiate enable }
Rather than changing the SNI header like that, you could create multiple server-ssl profiles and set the appropriate SNI name in each profile.
In the irule you can select the correct server-ssl profile with the SSL::profile command.
You may still require the SSL::renegotiate if SSL negotiation has already occurred
Simon is right you can review devcentral for such issues as many people before, so I will advice for first to for older questions before writting a post.
