NimbostratusHello All, I'm working on a request to remove the URI from the HTTP request and send the rest of the URL path as it is to the backend server: for example a request as and it should get routed to backend server as
the URI1 should get stripped on LB and it should get routed to the backend server
Any of your help or suggestion is appreciable.
Regards, Thiyagu
CumulonimbusHello Thiyagu,
So, You can rewrite the requested URI before it's sent to the node with something like this:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/URI1/"}{
set uri [string range [HTTP::uri] 5 end]
HTTP::uri $uri
log local0. "new URI: https://[HTTP::host]$uri"
}
}
Regards,
NacreousHi Thiyagu,
You can use this iRule to replace the first field in the URI path, regardless of what the field contains. It uses
getfieldstring mapwhen HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::uri] contains "URI1"} {
set uriField [getfield [HTTP::uri] / 2]
set newUri [string map [list ${uriField}/ ""] [HTTP::uri]]
HTTP::uri $newUri
}
}

String map https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/irules-101-14-tcl-string-commands-part-2
Cumulonimbusthy this code:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[scan [HTTP::uri] {/%[^/]%s} field1 newUri] == 2 } {
switch $field1 {
"URI1" {
pool POOL1
HTTP::uri $newUri
}
"URI2" {
pool POOL2
HTTP::uri $newUri
}
}
}
}
