Strip leading www

You'll need to specify the header name in your assignment.

 

 

HTTP::header replace []

 

 

Replaces the last occurrence of the named header with the string . This command performs a header insertion if the header was not present.

 

 

So, your code should look like this:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::host] equals "www.excel.gosolo.com" } {
    HTTP::header replace "Host" "excel.gosolo.com"
  }
}

 

 

Another option you could go with is a more generic approach if you have more than one domain to deal with.

 

 

 when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::host] starts_with "www." } {
    HTTP::header replace "Host" [string range [HTTP::host] 4 end]
  }
}

 

 

Basically what this does is look to see if the Host header starts with "www." and if it does replace the header with everything after the "www." (index 4 to end).
