Example 9: Home Page Redirection

August 1, 2023

Contributed by:

New Company, Inc. recently acquired a smaller competitor, Purchased Company, and wants to redirect the home page for Purchased Company to a new page on its own Web site, as shown here.

Old URL: http://www.purchasedcompany.com/\*
New URL: http://www.newcompany.com/products/page.htm

To redirect requests to the Purchased Company home page, you would create rewrite actions with the values in the following table.

Action Name	Type of Rewrite Action	Expression to choose target reference	String expression for replacement text
Action-Rewrite-Replace_URLr	REPLACE	HTTP.REQ.URL.PATH_AND_QUERY	“/products/page.htm”
Action-Rewrite-Replace_Host	REPLACE	HTTP.REQ.HOSTNAME	“www.newcompany.com”

add rewrite action action-Rewrite-Replace_URLr REPLACE HTTP.REQ.URL.PATH_AND_QUERY “/products/page.htm”

add rewrite action action-Rewrite-Replace_Host REPLACE HTTP.REQ.HOSTNAME “www.newcompany.com”
<!--NeedCopy-->

You would then create rewrite policies with the values in the following table.

Policy Name	Action Name	Undefined Action	Expression
Policy-Rewrite-Replace-None	Action-Rewrite-Replace-None	NOREWRITE	!HTTP.REQ.HOSTNAME.SERVER.EQ(“www.purchasedcompany.com”)
Policy-Rewrite-Replace-Host	Action-Rewrite-Replace_Host	NOREWRITE	HTTP.REQ.HOSTNAME.SERVER.EQ(“www.purchasedcompany.com”)

add rewrite policy Policy-Rewrite-Replace-None !HTTP.REQ.HOSTNAME.SERVER.EQ(“www.purchasedcompany.com”) Action-Rewrite-Replace-None NOREWRITE

add rewrite policy Policy-Rewrite-Replace-Host HTTP.REQ.HOSTNAME.SERVER.EQ(“www.purchasedcompany.com”) Action-Rewrite-Replace_Host NOREWRITE
<!--NeedCopy-->

Finally, you would bind the rewrite policies globally, assigning the first a priority of 100 and the second a priority of 200.

bind rewrite global Policy-Rewrite-Replace-None 100

bind rewrite global Policy-Rewrite-Replace-Host 200
<!--NeedCopy-->

Requests to the acquired company’s old Web site are now redirected to the correct page on the New Company home page.
