Best way to redirect multiple URI's to a full URL

Hello John,

An iRule and data group would probably be easiest, yes. Make a string data group with the uri's that need to be redirected, and use that to decide the redirect. Here's a pretty good video on data groups if you need a refresher, and this post covers the basic steps on making an external group if your list of uris is big.

Here's some pseudo-code to get you on the right track for the iRule.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [class match [HTTP::uri] equals uriGroup] } {
       HTTP::redirect https://dev-warehouse-papi.dev.cloudhub.io/rest/v1/warehouse/fedExShipment
    }
}

That should work for v. 10 and above. I think older versions use matchclass instead of class, which would look like

if { [matchclass[HTTP::uri] equals uriGroup] } {

Best of luck,

Austin

my iRule is

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [class match [HTTP::uri] equals DGL1] } { HTTP::redirect https:// [class match -value [HTTP:uri] equals DGL1 ]

}

}

Will be testing tomorrow. Thanks for your help

This is the iRule that calls to the data group list that contains the URI's and the redirected URL's works fine.

Does anyone know if you can use the F5 as a reverse proxy when using a data group list that redirects the client? The only resource applied to the virtual server is the iRule. I'd like the clients request to get redirected and proxied by the F5.

when HTTP_REQUEST { log local0. "URI equals [HTTP::uri]" if { [class match [HTTP::path] equals DGL1] } { set key [class match -name [HTTP::path] contains DGL1] set value [class match -value $key contains DGL1] HTTP::respond 302 Location "$value" } }
