NimbostratusHi Leonid,
I don't think that you need to bother checking to see if the [HTTP::host] is empty. If it is empty then it will never hit the Virtual Server. It could be an IP Address or something else but should never be empty.
This will do what you were wanting, but will not function properly if you hit the Virtual Server with an IP Address. If you want any traffic hitting the Virtual Server with an IP Address to respond properly you will need to add additional logic.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { !([HTTP::host] starts_with "www") } {
HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]"
}
}
Hope this helps.
