Hi All, Recently a customer of ours utilized a redirect script to good effect, but it doesn't tick all the boxes on a new requirement they have. I have tried in my limited non-programmer way to figure out the best way to achieve the new requirement with no real luck and thought I would ask in here. Essentially the problem is this - the customer uses whitelabelling on a given Virtual Server, and wants a specific dynamic redirect to happen - namely that if the full URL is blog.foo.bar/<whatever> they want this rewritten to foo.bar/blog/<whatever>. The domain can and will be different all the time. This isnt as easy as it seems from what I can tell, as it needs the host header rewritten, and then the url path conditionally rewritten to add the /blog/ in front of the <whatever> Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start? Regards, Adam

Hi Owen, Aidan, All, I got this working, but I had to modify the way we processed a redirect, as follows: Instead of line 177 - where the code is http.setPath( $rwPath );, changed that to: http.setPath( "" ); http.changeSite( $rwPath ); instead, and we are now working as expected! Thanks all for your help!

Thanks Aidan, Ive tested the script and whilst it works as designed, what we are trying to do is subtly different. The best way to describe the difference is to refer to the comments in the script # Element one is the string RD or RW depending if we are redirecting # the connection or rewriting it # Element two is the old URL # Element three is the new URL # example: # RD /oldurl http://newsite.com/newurl Line 3, old URL, is specified as a /path not as a http://newsite.com/url, which is what we require. I was thinking one solution would be to add an extra column in the text file called host between the RW and the url ie row 2, and then search for both but Im not sure how this would affect the optimisation code. Anyone suggest the best method to achieve this?

Hi All, I'm looking for the best way to preserve static links from an 'old' site when the site moves to a new infrastructure behind a Riverbed Stingray using TrafficScript. What we are trying to do is this: $path = http.getpath(); if( http.getheader( "Host" ) == "www.oldsite.com.au" && string.contains( $path, "oldpath/faqs" ) ){ http.changeSite( "http://www.newsite.com.au/newpath/faq" ); } But we are trying to do it for 200+ differing links that may very well get updated frequently by our customer. The perfect scenario would be to have a traffic script rule reference a file that has <from link> TAB <to link> that we can upload via extra files as it is changed, and have the rule read the changes. The only other requirement is that the redirects have to be 302's ie permanent redirects. Any suggestions guys?
