Wildcard redirects using map file

Help!
1

Good afternoon!

I was hoping that I could get some help with a new requirement that I’m trying to iron out. Our website is going through a redesign, and we have a ton of pages that need to be redirected to other pages due to documented links and stuff. We are already using a map file to redirect some pages, but we have a new need to redirect everything with a specific URI. For instance..

Current URI is -
/base/haproxy/safety/catfish

We need everything that has /base/haproxy/safety/ in the URI to go to /base/haproxy/new/.

This is working properly for that URI specifically (/base/haproxy/safety/), but if we go to /base/haproxy/safety/catfish, it redirects, but adds catfish to the end. So the rewriten URI looks like this /base/haproxy/new/catfish/.

Was wondering if someone could steer me towards a way I could do this, where it would literally just take the rewritten path from the map file as is without appending everything that was not rewritten to the end of the rewritten URI?

This is the config im using now.

http-request redirect location %[capture.req.uri,map(/etc/haproxy/redirects.map)] code 301 if { capture.req.uri,map(/etc/haproxy/redirects.map) -m found }

Redirects.map

/base/haproxy/safety /base/haproxy/new/
/base/haproxy/safety/ /base/haproxy/new/

Basically I need a way to wildcard everything after /base/haproxy/safety/* to go to /base/haproxy/new/. Any help would be greatly apprecaited! Thank you!!

Another sitch is that if theres more than just one directory further, it does nothing. E.g. /base/haproxy/safety/catfish/chickenwing/. This does not get changed at all.

You should replace both map statements (in the redirect and in the if statement conditioning the redirect) with map_beg, so you are matching the beginning of the string.

This should do what you want.

I don’t see how the configuration you provided does that. Perhaps that is the behavior from a attempt with a different configuration.

However by replacing map with map_beg you should achieve the exact behavior you want.
