Help with adding mobile redirect to existing irule

Hi all,

 

 

I have been asked to redirect a handful of mobile device types (user agents) to our mobile homepage and am having some trouble getting the irule configured properly.

 

 

My current homepage irule is as follows:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::host] equals "site.com" } {

 

HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.site.com[HTTP::uri]"

 

return

 

} else {

 

log local0.alert "BEGIN Host:[HTTP::host]-[HTTP::uri]-[HTTP::path]"

 

switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {

 

"/" -

 

"/*" -

 

"/\\?*" -

 

"/foo/*" -

 

"/news/*" -

 

"/sites/*" -

 

"/node/*"

 

{

 

log local0.alert "op_pool Host:[HTTP::host]-[HTTP::uri]"

 

pool op_pool

 

return

 

}

 

default {

 

pool def_pool

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

I need to redirect the following user agents to http://m.site.com

 

 

blackberry

 

wp7

 

iphone

 

androi

 

 

Any suggestions on how / where to add the mobile redirect. I'm thinking it needs to go at the beginning but don't know the best syntax.

 

 

Thanks for any help!!

    e.g. 

    [root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   pool foo
   destination 172.28.19.79:80
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
   profiles {
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if {[HTTP::host] equals "site.com"} {
      if {[class match -- [string tolower [HTTP::header value "User-Agent"]] equals mobile_class]} {
         HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://m.site.com[HTTP::uri]"
      } else {
         HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.site.com[HTTP::uri]"
      }
   } else {
      switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
         "/" -
         "/*" -
         "/\\?*" -
         "/foo/*" -
         "/news/*" -
         "/sites/*" -
         "/node/*" { pool op_pool }
         default { pool def_pool }
      }
   }
}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  curl -I http://172.28.19.79/something -H "Host: site.com"

    When I tested this with a browser it wasn't working although it was working by running the curl command from the box itself. I ended up having to change this line as follow...

     

     

    if {[class match -- [string tolower [HTTP::header value "User-Agent"]] equals mobile_class]} {

     

     

    to

     

     

    if {[class match -- [string tolower [HTTP::header value "User-Agent"]] contains mobile_class]} {

     

     

    Had me scratching my head for a bit, but it finally clicked :-)
