URI masking

Hey Guys,

 

I am new to all this so bare with me. I have two applications that have web hooks into each other. We had to upgrade one of them and it changed the directory structure which is now breaking the web hooks. I am trying to mask the beginning of the uri so to the client making the call it looks the same, but on the backend it sends to new directory.

 

I need http://mysite.com/code to redirect to http://mysite.com/newdir/code, but without the browser displaying the redirect. To the client it still needs to look like http://mysite.com/code. Additionally, as the client drills down further into the application I need it to continue masking /newdir/ in the browser.

    Hi Heather,

    You can try using a rewrite profile for this to change the URI on the back-end without changing the URI in the client's web browser

     

    tmsh create ltm profile rewrite REWRITE rewrite-mode uri-translation uri-rules add { mysite.com { type request client { scheme http host mysite.com path /code/ } server { path /newdir/code/ } } }
tmsh modify ltm virtual  profiles add { REWRITE }

     

    Note: You will need to make sure that there is an HTTP profile applied to the virtual server

    Let me know if this works for you
