| F5 BIGIP – Modify URI path using local traffic policy |
Im using my F5 BIGIP (v13) as reverse proxy to publish some websites by using local traffic policies. But i need to perform a URL rewriting. To be specific, i need to strip a string from the URI path.
It could be done using an IRule:
when HTTP_REQUEST{
if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri] ] starts_with "/path1" } {
HTTP::uri [string
| Escaping characters on Apache rewriting rules |
If you use Apache, probably you have used the mod_rewrite and the RewriteRule sentences.
One simple rewriting rule:
RewriteRule ^/cars http://myweb.com?productid=244 [L,R]So, when I try to access to subfolder "cars" of the configured virtual host, the browser will be redirected to http://myweb.com?productid=244
But, what if the product id contains, for example, a character like '%'?Let's try:
RewriteRule ^/cars http://myweb.com?productid=2%44
