URI Rewrite

HI All,

 

 

I have a specific requirement to rewrite the URI when the user requests the URL and the change has to be made interanlly without knowing to the external user.

 

Original URL : https://www.abc.com/customer/context/html need to be changed internally as below

 

https://abc.com/testcustomer/testcontext/html

 

Can anyone help me by providing an iRule matching the above.

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Mike,

     

     

    Basically i need a change only in the context path.

     

     

    https://abc.com/testcustomer/testcontext/html need to internally rewritten as

     

     

    https://abc.com/customer/context/html

     

     

    So the context testcustomer should be replaced by customer and testcontext to be replaced as context for all the incoming requests and the end user should not see any change in browser.

    Is this possibly the trailing slash issue?

     

    What happens if you browse to

     

    https://abc.com/testcustomer/testcontext/html/ ?

     

     

    Just a thought. You may need to slightly amend your irule logic too.

    Hi Silver,

    Try this: 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ( [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/testcustomer" ) or ( [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/testcontext" ) } {
HTTP::uri [string map {"/testcustomer" "/customer" "/testcontext" "/context"} [HTTP::uri]]
}
}
