Hi all Recently I needed to substitute http headers in requests such as the following:
From Referer: https://a-b-c.example.com/x-caliber To Referer: https://a.b.c.example.com/x-caliber Basically any hyphen in the subdomain part of example.com needed to be replaced by dots, but any other hyphens should not be replaced. I tried doing it with regsub() but the limitation on the accepted characters (no parenthesis or square brackets) limits the possible regular expressions that can be used. Also “http-request replace-header” is limited because it does not handle multiple matches – if there is more than one match there is no way of back-referencing to all matches (so varying number of matches cannot be handled). What I needed was a cross between replace-header and regsub. So I am suggesting the substitute-header and substitute value actions for http requests and responses. I have a reference implementation for this on my github branch here: https://github.com/darcoli/haproxy/tree/substitute-header-value. I am also attaching a patch with my changes with this email. I have done some testing and am confident the basic functionality works. But please review and I will be happy to handle any suggestions or fixes that you may have.
