AEMAaCS Dispatcher | URL rewrite based on cookie value

[pradeepdubey82]

Hi All,

I have to redirect page A to page B if cookie is not present. If cookie is present then this redirection will not happen.

I need to redirect to page B before request reaches to AEM server. 

How can we do this on dispatcher?

Any pointers highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Pradeep

Hi @pradeepdubey82 

You can try with apache rewrite engine . Tweak the below code and can try 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE}   ^.*COOKIENAME=COOKIEVALUE.*$
RewriteRule ...

Hi @pradeepdubey82 ,

Please try below-

RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} mycookie
RewriteRule .* /page-A.html?redirectTo=/page-B.html [QSA,L,R,NE]

Where mycookie is the cookie name.

You can use the usual rewrite module of the Apache to do so - 

Use mod_rewrite with a RewriteCond that checks the HTTP_COOKIE variable and then rewrite as desired, for example:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} cookie=([a-zA-Z]+)
RewriteRule .* http://mydomain.com/NEW-LOCATION/%1 [R=301,L]

Here the value of cookie can be any custom value.

Hi All,

Finally it worked

RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !mycookie
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/test-project/page1(.*?) /$1/page3 [QSA,L,R,NE]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/test-project/page2(.*?) /$1/page3 [QSA,L,R,NE]

Thanks,
