My clients log in to their hit reports at: http://reports.domain.com:8000

I would like for them to be able to leave off the :8000. A listening error occurs if I set the port to 8000 as the reporting software, Summary Pro is already listening on that port.

So it seems that a URL ReWrite is the answer. No luck so far.

When I have tried to do a rewrite:
Quote:

^/reports.domain.com(.*)$
Perform an internal redirection
/reports.domain.com:8000$1


an "error 403 - forbidden" is returned.

Any suggestions?

Two possibilities:

1. Have Abyss serve up an HTML page with an iframe to the server on port 8000.

2. Redirect the browser.

Code:
URL Rewrite rule
regular expression: ^/(.*)
case sensitive: unchecked

condition 1:
 variable: HTTP Header: Host (HTTP_HOST)
 operator: matches with
 regex: ^reports.domain.com$
 case sensitive: unchecked
apply to subrequests: checked

perform an external redirection
redirect to: http://reports.domain.com:8000/$1
append query string: checked
escape redirection location: checked
status code: 302 or 301

I think the reason what you wanted to do doesn't make sense in this case, is that a different port isn't really an internal redirection. That other port is another host. As far as you're concerned, a host is a separate server (or a thread in Abyss I guess), which isn't "internal" as Aprelium interprets it.

Do an external redirection like pkSML says.
