Forward with specific URI to pool without changing URL

Hi, DevCentral community!

I’ve been checking the forum and trying different answers from the community for other requests, but I haven’t been able to do what I need to do, this is the scenario:

The client wants to receive the content of http://abc.com/xyz-xyz when he accesses through http://abc.com

In short, I need to forward the traffic to the pool with the URI /xyz-xyz but the URL has to be static as http://abc.com

Could anyone help me with the iRule?

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { ([HTTP::host] eq "abc.com") } {
        if { ([HTTP::uri] equals "/") } {
        HTTP::uri "/xyz-xyz"
    }
    pool Client-pool
    text
    }

}

Thank all of you for your help and your time!

Hi,

Instead of using an iRule, have you tried looking at using a rewrite profile instead?

Something like this? (this rewrites http://abc.com to http://abc.com/xyz-xyz/)

tmsh create ltm profile rewrite REWRITE rewrite-mode uri-translation uri-rules add { abc.com { type request client { scheme http host abc.com path / } server { path /xyz-xyz/ } } }

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
