Hello,
I use the redirect directive to redirect users from old sites to a new
site, eg:
redirect prefix http://new-site.com code 301 if old-site
I would like to redirect requests from many old sites to the same new
site, so I need a way to add info about the old host in the new
redirected request.
I'm looking for a way to add a header to the redirected request to
identify the host, for example :
X-Orig-Site: old-site-123.com
Is this possible ?
I guess I can't add a header to the request with HAproxy, since HAproxy
only sends a new Location header to the browser, and the browser sets
the headers.
So, is there a way to alter the location sent in the redirect, to
include « &orig-site=old-site-123.com » ?
I think I'm missing something here.
Should I user « http-request redirect » instead of « redirect prefix » ?
By the way, I tried to use the set-cookie option for this, but it was a
bad idea :
redirect prefix http://new-site.com code 301 set-cookie
ORIG=%[hdr(host)] if old_site
This doesn't work for two reasons :
1. The « %[hdr(host)] » part is send literally in the request :
Set-Cookie: ORIG=%[hdr(host)]; path=/;
2. The request sent to new-site.com doesn't seem to include this cookie
