url rewriting/redirection

Hi!

Giving this a go:

If you want to host site www.xyz.com as www.abc.com you can replace the host header on the way in and use a stream profile to replace links with xyz.com with abc.com:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
     Disable the stream filter for requests
    STREAM::disable

     Remove this header to prevent server from compression response
    HTTP::header remove Accept-Encoding

    Replace the host header to match www.xyz.com
    HTTP::header replace "Host" "www.xyz.com"
}

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
     Rewrite the Location header for redirects 
    if { [HTTP::header exists Location] }{ 
        HTTP::header replace Location [string map {"https://www.xyz.com" "https://www.abc.com"} [HTTP::header Location]] 
    } 

     Rewrite the response content using a stream profile if it is text 
    if { [HTTP::header Content-Type] contains "text" } { 

         Set the stream expression with the find/replace strings 
        STREAM::expression "@www.xyz.com@www.abc.com@" 

         Enable the stream filter 
        STREAM::enable
    } 
} 

Scenario 2:

Haven't worked with arabic at all, but I think you can use IDN formatting to achieve that.

Hi! try this. Make another VS www.abc.com with pool with one node www.xyz.com. Something like reverse proxy.

thnaks patrik and carlos..let me test it my scenario...

Hi Patrik jonsson, In the scenario 1, I have to add one more thing.. The user type www.abc.com the corresponding internally hosted site is www.xyz.com\abc and user should see www.abc.com on the browser instead of www.xyz.com\abc (as explained before) And there is another set of users, they will type www.def.com the corresponding internally hosted site is www.xyz.com\def and users should see www.def.com on the browser instead of www.xyz.com\def

Similarly I have to publish eight sites, what changes I have to do in the above irule in order to achieving the same. your help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Siru!

Let's say a user enters www.abc.com and ends up at www.xyz.com/abc. How will you handle the links?

If what you describe is all you want this rule might work:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    Get the middle part of the host
    set site [lindex [split [HTTP::host] "."] end-1]

    Concatenate midhost to the uri
    HTTP::uri "$site/[HTTP::uri]"

     Disable the stream filter for requests
    STREAM::disable

     Remove this header to prevent server from compression response
    HTTP::header remove Accept-Encoding

    Replace the host header to match www.xyz.com
    HTTP::header replace "Host" "www.xyz.com"
}

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
     Rewrite the Location header for redirects 
    if { [HTTP::header exists Location] }{ 
        HTTP::header replace Location [string map {"https://www.xyz.com" "https://www.abc.com"} [HTTP::header Location]] 
    } 

     Rewrite the response content using a stream profile if it is text 
    if { [HTTP::header Content-Type] contains "text" } { 

         Set the stream expression with the find/replace strings 
        STREAM::expression "@www.xyz.com@www.abc.com@" 

         Enable the stream filter 
        STREAM::enable
    } 
} 

Please note that I have not tested these rules. That's something you need to do yourself. 🙂

There was a typo in my rule and devcentral does not allow me to edit it, so here's the updated rule:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    Get the middle part of the host
    set site [lindex [split [HTTP::host] "."] end-1]

    Concatenate midhost to the uri
    HTTP::uri "/$site/[HTTP::uri]"

     Disable the stream filter for requests
    STREAM::disable

     Remove this header to prevent server from compression response
    HTTP::header remove Accept-Encoding

    Replace the host header to match www.xyz.com
    HTTP::header replace "Host" "www.xyz.com"
}

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
     Rewrite the Location header for redirects 
    if { [HTTP::header exists Location] }{ 
        HTTP::header replace Location [string map {"https://www.xyz.com" "https://www.abc.com"} [HTTP::header Location]] 
    } 

     Rewrite the response content using a stream profile if it is text 
    if { [HTTP::header Content-Type] contains "text" } { 

         Set the stream expression with the find/replace strings 
        STREAM::expression "@www.xyz.com@www.abc.com@" 

         Enable the stream filter 
        STREAM::enable
    } 
}
