Description

How can I use the [Rules]({%slug modify-traffic-get-started%}) tab for redirecting traffic from one server to another?

Solution

To accomplish this scenario, we can use a basic redirect or a rule, which utilizes regex and regex variables.

Using a Basic Redirect

To redirect traffic from one server to another, implement a basic redirect rule.

Match Condition: URL > Contains > https://docs.telerik.com/fiddler-everywhere/introduction Action: Update URL > Set Value > http://localhost:4000/fiddler-everywhere/introduction

Redirecting with Regex

To create more complex redirect rules, use the Fiddler Everywhere regex support for creating Match Conditions rules and Actions.

Match Condition: URL > Regular Expression > (.*)docs.telerik.com/(.*) Action: Update URL > Regular Expression > Find (.*)docs.telerik.com/(.*) + Replace http://localhost:4000/$2

In the previous example, two regex variables are automatically created. The second one will have as its value everything that comes after the last slash (/).

As a result, after applying the above rule, the following example endpoint

https://docs.telerik.com/fiddler-everywhere/modify-and-filter-traffic/modify-traffic-with-rules

will be redirected to

http://localhost:4000/fiddler-everywhere/modify-and-filter-traffic/modify-traffic-with-rules
