URI and Host replace

adding more details :

hi ,

I need to do the following :

when user request : https://a.x.com/retail F5 will change it to : http://b.x.com:9081/portal when forwarding the request to the pool-A, and will return https://a.x.com/retail with uri mask to the client

when user request : https://a.x.com/corporate F5 will change it to : http://b.x.com:9082/portal when forwarding the request to the pool-B , and will return https://a.x.com/retail with uri mask to the client ◾the server can accept b.x.com in the host header ◾ two pools were configured , pool-A [member is b.x.com port 9081] , pool-B [member is b.x.com port 9082]

◾ please can you help me to configure an iRule meeting my requirements .

thanks Yazan Khader

Try this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
        "/retail*" {
            pool Pool-A
            HTTP::header replace Host "b.x.com:9081"
            HTTP::uri "/portal"
        }
        "/corporate*" {
            pool Pool-B
            HTTP::header replace Host "b.x.com:9082"
            HTTP::uri "/portal"
        }
        default {
            reject
        }
    }
}

thank you Kevin , this will work for the client request the server will respond back to the client with x.b.com:port and uri /portal/* which need to be mapped back to host a.x.com and uri [/retail/* or /corporate/*] based on the original request .

also , on the user's browser address bar , I need to hide the mapped uri path after /retail and /corporate [/retail/xxxxx] and [/corporate/xxxxx]

please can you help me with this

Well, assuming the references to "/retail" and "/corporate" are going to be within the payload (ie. page object references), I might suggest a ProxyPass iRule implementation, or the rewrite profile if your on 11.4.

thanks Kevin ,

I tried the ProxyPass irule with the following data group settings but didn't work:

"a.x.com" := "b.x.com", "a.x.com/retail" := "b.x.com:9081/iportal pool-A", "a.x.com/corporate" := "b.x.com:9082/iportal pool-B", "https://" :- "http://" "/" := "b.x.com/",

i noticed that the depending on the previous data-group values . the client browser is redirected to a.x.com/iportal then I got http-error-500
