IRULE to MATCH any URI after the HTTP HOST Header

[Deepak_Nair]

Hi Experts ,

I am working on one request where CLIENT makes a request to VIP using https://myjobrocks.com/xyz .This URL should be re-builded to another URI https://myjobrocks.com/xyz or https://myjobrocks.com/xyz/home etc and send to node in the backend server using its machine name .

Client to VIP ----> https://myjobrocks.com/xyz

VIP to Backend ----> https://<machine-name>:443/xyz

Client should NOT see the VIP to backend communication .

ALSO , the /xyz PATH contains /xyz/home/groups/siginin etc pages in it

I wrote an IRULE but it works only a part of xyz/home URI , not for other PATH when I click while I reach /xyz/home

When I click something in the Home page , its returns 404 error .

when HTTP_REQUEST { 

  if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "myjobrocks.com") &&  [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz" } 

{

HTTP::uri "/xyz[HTTP::uri]

node 1.1.1.1 443

}

I am NOT sure how to append the REST of URI request made by the Client .

Hello,

When you are hitting URI /xyz/home or xyz/something, do you see if whole URI is preserved in the browser?

Hi Mayur ,

When i browse to https://myjobrocks.com/xyz it HITS the F5 VIP and land on https://myjobrocks.com/xyz/home perfectly using below irule :

when HTTP_REQUEST { 

  if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "myjobrocks.com") &&  [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz" } 

{

node 1.1.1.1 443

}

Inside Home i have different PATH and when i click on that i can see the PATH are preserved in the browser but when that PATH is appended , the request change from https to http . i am NOT sure why is this happening . Also when i try to open .html page within Home , its stays as https BUT gets a error as below

Invalid redirect_uri

Error: 400

When i USe this irule :

when HTTP_REQUEST { 

  if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "myjobrocks.com") &&  [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz" } 

{

HTTP::uri "/xyz[HTTP::uri]

node 1.1.1.1 443

}

Nothing works and gets server error .

OK i think i found the problem . The other URI path within /XYZ is hosted on http instead of https . Looks like i need to create a VIP with port 80 to service this paths .

testing this now

[Deepak_Nair]

OK this works now . Just created a VIP with Port 80 and attached the irule below

when HTTP_REQUEST { 

  if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "myjobrocks.com") &&  [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz" } 

{

HTTP::uri "/xyz[HTTP::uri]

node 1.1.1.1 80

}

Thanks Every one .
