301 Redirect Not Working

I've also tried the following and although the syntax was accepted by the F5 like the iRule above, the actual redirect didn't work:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {([HTTP::host] equals "www.ourwebsite.co.uk") && ([HTTP::uri] equals "/mall/departmentpage.cfm/customer/_249553/1/Product1")} {

 

HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.newwebsite.co.uk/product/Product1" }

 

}

 

 

Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions, thank you.

All of a sudden picked up and started working, it might have been that I needed a / on the end of Product1

If you run into problem and are trying to troubleshoot issuse I throw in some debug statments to make sure what I think it should be seeing is what it is seeing.

 

 

if you case you can run a quick log statment

 

 

log local0. "HTTP Host = [HTTP::host] HTTP uri = {HTTP::uri]"

 

 

In more complex iRules you can leave the log statment in place and use a debug value to turn them on and off like below

 

 

set debug 0

 

if ($debug) {

 

log local0. "debug message"

 

}

 

 

This way the only time you log anything is when you set your iRule to debug. You can even set different level and only turn some on depending on what level you set.
