114 Command Reference
is useful for example if your external DNS server resolves a number of
internal host names to the same IP address (that is . the server created for
HTTP to HTTPS redirect) and you wish to redirect these requests through
HTTPS to the intended internal host as configured in your internal DNS
server.
To be able to use this feature you should first create an HTTP server for
HTTP to HTTPS redirection (see the httpsredir command on ).

Displays all added entries by index number.
Removes the specified entry. Use the list command to display the index
numbers of all entries.
Adds a host-to-host mapping entry to the current HTTP server.
•
From-host, e.g. www.example.com. This host name should resolve to
the IP address of the HTTP server used for redirection. HTTP requests
for this host will be redirected to the to-host (see below).
•
To-host, e.g. https://www.example2.com/$(path). The $(path)
variable ensures that any path specified after the host name in the
original request will be kept.
Advanced example: Configure the external DNS server so that a number
of different internal host names resolve to the HTTP server's IP address.
To enable automatic redirection of HTTP requests to all these host names,
but through a secure portal, enter * (asterisk) as from-host. As to-host,
enter e.g. https://portal.example.com/http/$(host)/$(path).
The $(host) variable ensures that the original host name will
be kept. To prevent the unnecessary action of redirecting HTTP
requests to the portal through the portal, create an entry (with index
number 1) where portal.example.com is the from-host and
https://portal.example.com/http /$(path) is the to-host.
Assigns a specific index number to the mapping entry you add. The index
number you specify must be in use. Entries with an index number higher
than (and including) the one you specify will have their current index
number incremented by 1.
