Hello all,
The transparent redirection term first implied to me that the client will be totally unaware of the presence of a WSA proxy, however i delpoyed the following setup and found that the client is receiving HTTP proxy-redirect message (code 307) with source IP of the final destination server but i tells the client to request HTTP from the WSA. Redirection mode is L2 forwarding.
Here is the Setup:
Server
|
client----L3 Switch----WSA
My understanding of transperent redirection in this setup is:
- client sends HTTP GET request to the server
- the switch intercepts the GET and redirect it to the WSA
- the WSA sends the request to the server with source IP of the WSA
- the server replies to the WSA
- the WSA replies to the client (not sure if the source will be spoofed as server IP or WSA)
However, my findings were different... again http-redirect arrives at the client with WSA URL
Please advise,
thanks in advance.
