.com. doesn't redirect but .com does

Hello Everyone,

Quick question regarding a re-direct irule. so we have a requirement to redirect example.com and exampleabc.com to examplexyz.com and this works via the following irule but if append a dot after .com then it doesn't redirect... so example.com. doesn't redirect. we also need it to be a 301 re-direct also we can not use generic host as this is a shared VIP. Any thoughts?

when HTTP_REQUEST { set r_host [HTTP::header "Host"] switch $r_host { "; - "; -

  HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://www.examplexyz.com"
}

} }

    Hi,

    switch command evaluate exact value. 

    example.com
    us not the same string than 
    example.com.

    when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    switch -- [HTTP::host] { 
        "www.example.com" - 
        "www.example.com." - 
        "www.exampleabc.com" -
        "www.exampleabc.com." {
            HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://www.examplexyz.com"
        }
    }
}

    you can also use glob option to use wildcard

    when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    switch -glob -- [HTTP::host] { 
        "www.example.com?" - 
        "www.exampleabc.com?" {
            HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://www.examplexyz.com"
        }
    }
}
