Web Access By Replacing host

Hi all, I have an iRule that I am trying to use like this: in the browser you type in the URL like https://www.CompanyDomain.com/Branch1 and this URL should remain the same in the browser address...

A few things to consider:

 

  1. You don't need SSL::disable serverside if all traffic to the pool is port HTTP. Just don't apply a server SSL profile.

     

  2. The host name of the server should not include the protocol, so it would just be HTTP::header replace Host "server3.internalcompanydomain.com:1036"

     

  3. It also looks like you're going to servers on different ports, so you either need a node command to send traffic to a specific node and port, or create a pool for each server and use the pool command.

     

  4. Your branch condition for Branch2 suggests that you're looking for anything that starts with "/Branch2", but then you're ignoring any of that additional content, if any. Is that your intention?

     

  5. All of this may work to get the requests to the servers, but if the servers respond to the client with object references with their real paths, you may run into other problems.
