Example HTTP transformation scenarios

The following scenarios provide example input and output documents for the HTTP transformation process.

Scenario 1: Modifying the URI, headers, and cookies (HTTPRequest)
Scenario 2: Modifying the headers only (HTTPResponse)
This scenario illustrates how to modify the headers in an HTTP Response. The XSLT in this example adds a new header called RESPONSE_A with the value VALUE_A if it does not exist.
Scenario 3: Modifying the ResponseLine/StatusCode only (HTTPResponse)
Scenario 4: Modifying cookies only (HTTPResponse)
Scenario 5: Providing a response to a known HTTP request
This scenario illustrates how a HTTPResponseChange document can be used to generate a response directly from a request. In this scenario, if a cookie with name 'invalid-cookie' exists in the HTTP Request then the XSL transformation produces an HTTP Response that indicates an invalid cookie was detected.
Scenario 6: Adding a credential attribute value to the response
This scenario illustrates how a HTTPResponseChange document can be used to add a credential attribute value to the response.
Scenario 7: Adding response headers based upon values of the request headers
This scenario illustrates how to add headers to the HTTP Response if certain conditions are met by the value of the HTTP Request headers. An example of the usefulness of this is adding CORS headers.
