NimbostratusYet another URI rewrite
With our company divesting, I've been tasked with identifying incoming remote_addr, then intercepting certain URI content and modifying that URI on the fly.
Example: http://www.abc.com/com/usa/wheretogo
identify the com/usa and change it to com/usanew with any prepended or appended URI content remaining the same.
Result: http://www.abc.com/com/usanew/wheretogo
I'm using a Data Group to identify the affect remote_addr, but not sure how to identify the specific URI content and replace it on the fly.

Hi Kevin,
You can rewrite the URI with HTTP::uri and the path with HTTP::path. Here is an example:when HTTP_REQUEST { Datagroup check loigic goes here ... Check if path starts with /com/usa/ if {[HTTP::path] starts_with "/com/usa/"}{ Replace /com/usa/ with /com/usanew/ in the path HTTP::path [string map {/com/usa/ /com/usanew/} [HTTP::path]] } }

mguned_60772Thanks for the info...adding to the question...
What if you also wanted to add a redirect into the situation?
Example:
redirect http://abc.com to http://xyz.com and also change the path as noted above.
-Thanks!- hoolioYou can change HTTP::path to HTTP::redirect. You're supposed to use a fully qualified URL in a redirect, but all browsers support a local one (URI without a protocol or domain name).
Aaron - raddboy_74501Hoolio, well done! Works great.
