Can't get my redirect to work !!!

Hi Paul!

You're comparing against the full url whereas the uri is the part after the host.

Try this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    set host [string tolower [HTTP::host]]

    if { $host equals "test.geowessex.com" } {
        HTTP::redirect "https://test.geowessex.com/geoserver/"}
    elseif { $host equals "test2.geowessex.com" } {
        HTTP::redirect "https://vmcrgifme1"
    }

}

Hope that answers your question. 🙂

Hi Patrik,

Just to give you some background, this irule is for a F5 ASM box. This irule does not work at all, before I had an irule that worked fine (see below)

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] equals "https://test.geowessex.com" } { HTTP::redirect "https://test.geowessex.com/geoserver/"} }

but with your irule I can't get it to work at all.

I hope you can help.

Hi Paul

Strange.

Try this rule instead?

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    set host [string tolower [HTTP::host]]

    if { $host equals "https://test.geowessex.com" } {
        HTTP::redirect "https://test.geowessex.com/geoserver/"}
    elseif { $host equals "https://test2.geowessex.com" } {
        HTTP::redirect "https://vmcrgifme1"
    }
}

If that does not work, try adding log section to see what the hosts header contains.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    set host [string tolower [HTTP::host]]
    log local0. $host
    if { $host equals "https://test.geowessex.com" } {
        HTTP::redirect "https://test.geowessex.com/geoserver/"}
    elseif { $host equals "https://test2.geowessex.com" } {
        HTTP::redirect "https://vmcrgifme1"
    }
}

Then check the result in the /var/log/ltm log.

Hi Patrik,

The first redirect works (https://test.geowessex.com) but it ever does the second one https://test2.geowessex.com, I don't no what is going wrong ?

Hi Paul!

Tue Jun 24 12:34:29 BST 2014 info asm1 tmm[11765] Rule /Common/New-Geowessex-Redirect : test.geowessex.com
Tue Jun 24 12:34:29 BST 2014 info asm1 tmm1[11765] Rule /Common/New-Geowessex-Redirect : test.geowessex.com

Tue Jun 24 12:34:30 BST 2014 info asm1 tmm1[11765] Rule /Common/New-Geowessex-Redirect : test.geowessex.com

Looking at your log you never use test2.geowessex.com and that's why the second redirect never fires.

Hi Patrik,

But I was ? so i'm even more confused

Maybe you don't reach the LTM when using test2.geowessex.com? Check the dns and the hosts file on your client?

Hi Patrik,

I can see what is happening now, ASM does not seem to be hitting the irule at all. I need to take off the security policy next and see weather that make a difference.

@Patrik: You've re-introduced the protocol (https) in the comparison. However, HTTP::host contains the host only.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    set host [string tolower [HTTP::host]]

    if { $host equals "test.geowessex.com" } {
    HTTP::redirect "https://test.geowessex.com/geoserver/"}
    elseif { $host equals "test2.geowessex.com" } {
        HTTP::redirect "https://vmcrgifme1"
    }
}
