ACE Module HTTP Rewrite Problem

m.imaduddin — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 08:14:41 GMT

Hi All,

We are currently testing ACE Module feature to do http rewrite on backend server.

Users will access http://VIP/test, and ACE should rewrite the request to http://VIP/prod

I have checked config-guide and Netpro case-studies but no result. User still cant access http://VIP/test, but they can access http://VIP/prod directly

These are the configurations:

rserver host S1

ip address 10.2.2.2

inservice

serverfarm host SF-PROD

probe WEB_SERVERS

rserver S1

inservice

class-map type http loadbalance match-any L7CLASS-PROD

2 match http url /test/*

policy-map type loadbalance http first-match WEB_L7_POLICY

class L7CLASS-PROD

serverfarm SF-PROD

action HTTP_MODIFY

action-list type modify http HTTP_MODIFY

header rewrite request Host header-value "(.*)test(.*)" replace "%1prod%2"

Please check my configuration

Thanks

Imad

Hi,

You can redirection for this instead of rewrite. Check link below for sample config.

Hi Imad,

Glad it worked. Actually url rewrite is still not possible on ACE and expected to be in future release. If it is actually in a header such as location then yes, however if it is in the request uri then no since that is not a header as ACEcannot do url rewrite.

Siva
