F5 iRule Redirect Issue
Hello all,
I'm new to F5, so I apologize if I'm not doing this correctly. I have a current iRule that is set to redirect from domain A to domain B if certain criteria happen. For instance, if someone goes to domainA.com/1234, it should redirect to domainB.com/path?id=1234. If there is no "1234" in the URL, it should go to the landing page of Domain B
Here's my current redirect rule for domain A:
if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } then {
HTTP::redirect "https://domainb/path"
} else {
HTTP::redirect "https://domainB/path?id=[URI::encode [string range [HTTP::uri] 1 end]]"
}
This works well, except if someone uses a service like MailChimp. Those services append tracking information, so domainA.com/1234 becomes domainA.com/1234?utm_campaign=foo. This will break the URL for DomainB, since the campaign tracking information will become URL escaped characters. What would be the best way to fix this issue?
