Help - starts_with subdomain pool routing?

Well, I got this part of it to work by using the HTTP::host with equals, however I'm struggling with how to auto redirect to a particular virtual directory.

 

 

With my http::redirect statement, the site constantly just redirects, instead of allowing the server to post content back to the browser. It does this with both web servers, which are completely different types of services obviously.

 

 

Can anyone offer their ideas on logic that would make this work?

 

 

Basically, for newbie user who just types in subdomain1.newdomain.com I want to put in logic to nicely redirect them to https://subdomain1.newdomain.com/virtualdir to make things simple.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

 

Checks the URI and forces to all lowercase for the check first for subdomain1

 

if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "subdomain1.newdomain.com" }{

 

HTTP::redirect "https://subdomain1.newdomain.com/virtualdir/"

 

pool subdomain1

 

Checking if URI starts with ftp

 

} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "ftp.newdomain.com" }{

 

HTTP::redirect "https://ftp.newdomain.com"

 

pool newdomainftp

 

All non-matching URIs

 

} else {

 

pool errorpage

 

}

 

}

Maybe something like this? I'm not sure if you're using this rule on an HTTPS VIP which ftp.newdomain.com resolves to or not. If you do, then you shouldn't redirect requests made to ftp.newdomain.com with a uri of / to https://ftp.newdomain.com/ or you'll get a redirect loop.

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:TCP::client_port]: New request to [HTTP::host], [HTTP::uri]" 
  
     Checks the URI and forces to all lowercase for the check first for subdomain1 
    switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] { 
       "subdomain1.newdomain.com" { 
          if { [HTTP::path] eq "/"}{ 
             log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:TCP::client_port]: Matched subdomain1.newdomain.com with URI of /.  Redirecting to https" 
             HTTP::redirect "https://subdomain1.newdomain.com/virtualdir/" 
             return 
          } else { 
             log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:TCP::client_port]: Matched subdomain1.newdomain.com with URI not /.  Using pool subomain1" 
             pool subdomain1 
             return 
          } 
       } 
       "ftp.newdomain.com" { 
          if { [HTTP::path] eq "/"}{ 
             log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:TCP::client_port]: Matched ftp.newdomain.com with URI of /.  Redirecting to https" 
     HTTP::redirect "https://ftp.newdomain.com/new_uri/" 
             return 
          } else { 
             log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:TCP::client_port]: Matched ftp.newdomain.com with URI not /.  Using pool newdomainftp" 
             pool newdomainftp 
             return 
          } 
       } 
    } 
     If we got here, no condition was matched, so use default pool 
    pool errorpage 
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:TCP::client_port]: No match. Using default pool"  
 }
