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

Hi, have multiple URI's that need to be redirected to the full URL, for example   /dev/v1/fedEx/fedexlabel-shipment REDIRECT TO: https://dev-warehouse-papi-dev.cloudhub.io/rest/v1/warehouse/fedExS...
application delivery
iRules

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

Okay yeah, there's a couple options you could try. My first thought is that each entry in the database could have a specific value that you use to differentiate between your redirects.

 

so for any entry uri you could be redirected to the value entered for that uri.

 

database: uriGroup string1: /example value1: https://dev-warehouse-papi-dev.cloudhub.io/rest/v1/warehouse/fedExShipment string2: /test value2: https://dev-otm-papi-test.cloudhub.io/WshSendTxnToOtmService/WshSendTxnToOtmService

 

Rinse and repeat.

 

HTTP::redirect https:// [class match -value [HTTP:uri] equals uriGroup ]

and then something like that for the code, which should redirect you based on the value you entered for that uri entry
