Appending the URI to the incoming request

Either;

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[HTTP::path] eq "/" } {
         This will give you a 'stealth' change of path
        HTTP::uri "/xx/yyy"
    }
}

or

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[HTTP::path] eq "/" } {
         This will show the change of path in the users browser
        HTTP::response 301 Location "http://company.service1.com/xx/yyy"
        return
    }
}

Thank IheartF5

I have one more query this iRule when attached to the Virtual Server will only be invoked during the initial URL request only m i correct? and it will not disturb the further requests or it will try to intercept every request?

Regards,

The HTTP_REQUEST event and iRule will be triggered for every request, but the

if {[HTTP::path] eq "/" } {

ensures that the redirect or path rewrite will only be executed when the request is for "/"

Thanks Iheart....

After putting the iRule I am feeling a bit of slowness in response and the page load times where as if I was typing the complete path it was fast.... any suggestions... ??

Regards,

Which version did you use - redirect or rewrite?

I have used this one.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[HTTP::path] eq "/" } {
         This will give you a 'stealth' change of path
        HTTP::uri "/xx/yyy"
    }
}

    }
}

There's no reason at all that this should cause a performance issue of any sort. Are you sure something else hasn't changed that affects the page load?

Yes I am sure nothing else has changed when i write the complete URL it comes up very fast when i write incomplete and depend on the Irule to change it it's taking time.

One more thing guys.... this was a https website now I want to create a http VS and write an irule that if someone types in "http://company.service1.com" the irule should redirect the user to "https://company.service1.com/xx/yyy" what changes shall i make to the above irule
