URL rewrites

[Randy Baker]

I would like to be able to create a user definable rule that would ensure sites such as Google Images always have "Safe Search" enabled. The script of the rule might looks something like this.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [getfield [HTTP::host]] == "images.google" } {
HTTP::URI replace "&safe=off" "&safe=on"
}
}

I work with F5 Networks load balancers, and they allow User Defined Scripting in TCL that is enforced through iRules. This is a rule that could be created and enforced on that product.

Is this something the WinGate developers might be interested in incorporating in their product, or, does WinGate have another way of dealing with this issue?

The new version of Wingate will support this functionality.

The next version we are currently working on supports Lua scripting, Events, and access to session data, which allows you to do this.
