Can proxy redirect specific server error responses ?

RouterOS General
1

Is there a way in ROS ( 3.x ) to make the proxy redirect specific error messages recieved from the remote site ?
EG.:
I ask for http://www.somedomain.com/nonexistentpage.htm wich gets to an 404, can the proxy redirect it to a page of my choice ? or an IP address ?

Or, if I request http://www.somedomain.com/nonexistentpage.htm and I get 403, redirect to another page ?

If it’s somewhere where i can’t see, direct me there.
Anybody tried that ?

bump !

( or, can the mt proxy distinguish among different messages it recieves from the remote server ? can i know if the proxy recieves an 404, 403, 401, 421, or, oh ! 410 :slight_smile: , and act accordingly, by redirecting to something else, or by taking an action I choose ?)

Anybody ?
MT ?

I would assume L7 could, if necessary, however, could you redirect that, maybe. don’t know what the purpose would be.

Well… it’s easy to asume.
L7…hm…

The main purpose is to stop “unexperienced” users, to say so, calling me or my stuff for “forbidden” of other sites, and to have a counter on how many times this “experienced” user is trying to do that before paying the remote to allow him access to the requested resources.
9x% of all sites that have secure access don’t let you know if you encountered a 401 or a 403.
And, second, there are many other things you can do… You can “put your lights on” a part of the users, when they encounter criptic messages from the server. or the messages from the mt proxy.
By the way, are these ( mt proxy messages) customizable ? I’ve not found them…

The answer is yes, are the MT proxy messages customizable to an extent yep if you are using a x86 solution, a RB I don’t know how to do it. . Is it customizable as in its simple or built into the OS, thats a big fat no. It requires modifying files on the disk separate from the OS.

Can you put some light on here ?

I don’t expect to be “officially” approved, but might not be that difficult to set options for customising these for the mt stuff.

I have both RB’s and x86, and I can’t modify a single message MT sends from the proxy. Only the e-mail address of the administrator. What exact messages can you modify, and from where ?
I’ll just install a demo to see… :bulb: :frowning:

Right now it’s not possible to customize the proxy messages. Maybe we’ll make that in future.

Thank you very much for taking that in consideration. :slight_smile:
