CSS 11503 redirect regular expression as parameter

[jan.sneyers]

Hi,

we are using LoadBalancers 11503 to let users go to internal webservices (via a portal). For this reason we have several services and contentrules defined.

Now we want to implement a rule that allows a user to be redirected to a specific webserverpage depending on what his initial url is.

Example: http://www.oursite.com/register-applic1

should be redirected to something like http://www.oursite.com/blahblah/register?applix=applic1

This is very easy if we are talking of 1 or 2 applications to register for, but we already have 37 applications, which we all want to make accessible via the same principle: take part <applic1> from initial url and post it in the redirect-url as paramter. With this, <applic1> can be re-used by a whole bunch of values.

I know in Unix this can be done with "positional" params in Regular Expressions (RE):

http.*register-(.*) will result in a $1 having the value that stands between the brackets, which would redirect to http://www.oursite.com/blahblah/register?applix=$1

Is something like this possible in CSS 11500, and if so, how?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, sorry for the late answer, but I had some vacation.

I went through this document, and I already knew a part of it (redirection in Contentrules).

I tried to solve this topic by the second option (service with domain-redirect), but the problem is that I need to pass a domain larger than 64 bytes (71 to be precise): I need to take it through a portal (first http.... and then add the real internal server, second http...), with a result as http://www.oursite.com/http://internalserver.oursite.com/path_to_applic

So, not a very good solution.

I'm really looking for something that can be done on the CSS itself, but seems impossible to find.

Any help still very much appreciated.
