Append text to a URI

Hi Guys,

 

I am currently trying to append a "/" at the end of a URI provided that the user himself did not include this in the first place.

 

I am currently using the below iRule:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::path] equals "/test" } { HTTP::redirect "//sample.domain.com/test/"} }

 

However I would like to make this more generic and be able to append the "/" at the end of every URI, provided that the user did not include this him/herself.

    What about this as your if statement?

    if { not [HTTP::uri] ends_with "/" } {

    Hope this helps,

    Ok this will do what you need. You do not need to specify the entire host as the browser will use the existing site name if you only supply just the URI in the redirect.

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if {!([HTTP::path] ends_with "/")} { 
    HTTP::path "[HTTP::path]/"
    HTTP::redirect [HTTP::uri]
  }
}

    Is there a chance that client requests specify a file (e.g. /index.html, /contact.php)? If so, you won't want to add a slash to those.

    Yes good catch. Use this updated iRule 

     iRule to add a slash to requests
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   skip files
  if {[HTTP::path] contains "."} { return }
   already ends in a slash
  if {[HTTP::path] ends_with "/"} { return } 

  HTTP::path "[HTTP::path]/"
  HTTP::redirect [HTTP::uri]
}
