NimbostratusHelp with 301 redirect irule
Hi guys,
I have setup the following IRULE for a 301 redirect
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/index.html" } {
HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.blah.blah.co.uk/blah-blah-blah/"
}
It appears to work ok however, the - in the URL seem to be messing up the redirect.
If I set the URL To "http://www.blah.blah.co.uk/blah%2dblah%2dblah/"
It still does not work.
Any idea?

Hi,
What happens when it doesn't work? Does the client get the redirect and make a new request to http://www.blah.blah.co.uk/blah-blah-blah/?
If you use a browser plugin like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler for IE, what does the client actually receive when LTM sends the 301 redirect? I'd expect either http://www.blah.blah.co.uk/blah-blah-blah/ or http://www.blah.blah.co.uk/blah%2dblah%2dblah/ to be sent correctly by LTM.

Dave_73612I checked it in fiddler -
It does the 301 to the correct URL then I get a 503.
I checked the exact URL that the 301 is going to and it works on the web-server.- hoolioIs there something different about the request for http://www.blah.blah.co.uk/blah-blah-blah/ when it's made from a redirect versus a request direct to the server or if you just enter that URL in the address bar and make the request to the VIP?
