Redirect not changing url in user browser

Follow
Fernando Fiszman

Hi,

I configured a redirect from https://www.host1.com/fastly_test to https://www.host2.com/blog

I created a response and a header following the steps mentioned in this post: https://docs.fastly.com/en/guides/generating-http-redirects-at-the-edge.

The problem is that it redirects correctly but it changes the URL in the user browser. I want to maintain the original URL in the user browser or, the other option, would are to change to https://www.host1.com/blog. The idea is the user doesn't see https://www.host2.com/.

It's possible?

Thanks in advice.

    Hi Fernando,

    If you are looking to keep the same host www.host1.com and URL in the browser, you can't use the 301/302 redirection because it triggers the client to send another HTTPS request. Instead, you could

    1) set the www.host2.com as origin and
    2) rewrite the URL from /fastly_test to /blog, so that the browser keeps the same URL but Fastly pulls the content from www.host2.com/blog.

    If you come across any issue, please feel free to send us a ticket with your service ID. Happy to help.

    Best,

    Hiro

    I know it's been a while but I was wondering how exactly you can do #2? I've tried doing "set req.url '/some/path'" but it ends up showing '/some/path' in the user browser... 

    Would really appreciate any help!

    Would really appreciate if you could provide answer to the second point. How can set the origin ?

    Thanks!
