URL path Redirection in Haproxy.cfg

haproxy

I have

https://www.mysites/v1/pages

and I want that to redirect to

https://www.mysites/v2/pages

I have added the following config on HAproxy config but not forward.

redirect location https://www.mysites/v2/pages 302 if { hdr(Host) mysites/v1/pages }

did I miss anything?

thanks.

Reading the documentation for the redirect statement makes me believe that part is correct (depending on where you put the statement).

Your ACL however doesn't seem to be correct. You filter on the host header (being www.mysites) while you should match on URI or path:

redirect location https://www.mysites/v2/pages 302 if { path_beg /mysites/v1/pages }

Haproxy with backend redirect

no it is not possible with haproxy, as haproxy does not cache requests nor responses and only forwards them once (you should compare it to any switch, router or firewall you may have). Some cache-enabled components might be able to do this, and I'm told that perlbal is able to do this too.

Haproxy exclude a url from https redirection

Assuming you are using the 1.5 version of HAProxy.

To redirect to https can be done via the redirect scheme directive. This directive has an optional conditions list, so you could set up an ACL for this purpose.

For instance to set up an acl to match the /helpsub path, you could have:

acl helpsub path_beg /helpsub

And to then do the redirect to https for everything, except the helpsub (and of course only when the connection is not yet via ssl) you could have:

redirect scheme https if !{ ssl_fc } !helpsub

The ! sign means not matching, so basically this reads as:

redirect the request to the https scheme, if you are not on an ssl connection and the path does not start with /helpsub.
