NimbostratusURI Masking if there's multiple redirects
Hi Folks,
I went through a lot of articles in devcentral, but all I could find was for single URI masking without multiple redirects. I have this below requirement.
End User should access and always see --> https://abc.com but the content of https://abc.com/article12
Should not see the URI path's or even track it.
There is a content hosted in URI --> /article12 (So its like https://abc.com/article12) When https://abc.com/article12 is accessed, it redirects to 4-5 different set of URI's. Like I have multiple 302's to reach the end result. Finally I see the content from https://abc.com/article12/libs/granite/core/content/login.html?abcxyzreason=unknown&j_reason_code=unknown
So to achieve 1st requirement I used HTTP_REQUEST, accessing abc.com should goto /article12. But its going on loop.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::host] eq "abc.com" } {
HTTP::uri /article12/
}
}
I tried to go with the below HTTP Response Irule, but its also going on loop.
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
if { [HTTP::is_redirect] && [HTTP::header Location] contains "/article12" } {
HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase "/article12 /" [HTTP::header Location]]
}
}

Try this to start ;-
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] eq "abc.com" && [HTTP::path] eq "/"} { HTTP::uri /article12/ } }Although it sounds as if your webserver is also performing 302 redirects unders some circumstances......

Well this helped on the 1st part. Thanks. But need help on URI Masking too. Accessing abc.com went to abc.com/article12 but the URI is seen. I do not want the URI to be seen. Just abc.com should be seen. Please advise. I guess we should be touch the response header ?

No, I suspect this may fix your problem (note have removed trailing /);-
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] eq "abc.com" && [HTTP::path] eq "/"} { HTTP::uri /article12 } }If that doesn't work please explain what is happening ie server is sending a redirect ? What Location header?

Tried removing the trailing / too, no luck. Still seeing entire URI. I see 302 twice coming from webserver, its a big URI path starting with /article12/libs/granite/
