Simple rewrite problem.

[Mikael Wallin]

I want to redirect a request to my local server.

My code is: (in java)

BrowserMobProxy server = new BrowserMobProxyServer();

server.rewriteUrl("host\.domain\.com\/path1\/path2\/path3","localhost:8000/test");

I was hoping that host.domain/path1/path2/path3 would redirect to my localhost port 8000.

It doesn't, where do I go wrong?

The rewrite rules match the entire request, including the scheme (http/https), so adding that may solve your problem. The javadoc for rewriteUrl gives some examples: https://github.com/lightbody/browsermob-proxy/blob/master/browsermob-core/src/main/java/net/lightbody/bmp/BrowserMobProxy.java#L277

Another thing to note is that the \ character is the Java String escape character, so if you want to escape a '.' in a regex, you'll need to escape the '\' before the period, i.e. "host\\.domain\..com".

One other note -- I just noticed a defect in the way the rewrite URLs are matched in the LittleProxy implementation. For https requests, the scheme (https://) and domain (www.example.com) aren't matched. For http, it depends on how the browser or other client sends the URL.

I'll open a defect and see about getting this resolved for beta-2. In the meantime, try your scenario with the legacy ProxyServer class (instead of BrowserMobProxyServer) to see if that works for you. If not, hang tight and I'll try to get a fix to master quickly :)

Thx for your reply. I will hang tight :)

This should now be fixed in master. Let me know if you still run into issues with the URL rewriting, and I'll try to get them fixed before the beta-2 release. Note that you should include the scheme and host/port ("http://somedomain.com/...") in the URL rewrite pattern. Also, I do want to point out that you can't rewrite HTTP requests into HTTPS requests or vice versa.

Can I redirect https url to differernt https url using BMP?

I am not able to. 

Its urgent requirement or can you suggest any work around?
