Aug 20, 2014How do I redirect to a URL
I want all traffic destined to a VIP over HTTPS to be redirected to https://servername/cgi-bin/wf.html. How do I accomplish this withing LTM?

It looks like this creates a redirect loop since the redirected request has the same hostname as your if statement. Try:
when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "webdrop.xxx.com" and not ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals "/cgi-bin/wf.html")} { HTTP::redirect "https://webdrop.xxx.com/cgi-bin/wf.html" } }

It appears to be redirecting but part of the Web file manager (QNAP) adds some URL options, such as - /cgi-bin/wf.html?&count=0.4379764038550741 Any way to allow for this redirection? - nitassAug 20, 2014

change the second "equals" in the if statement to "starts_with" - Benjamin_Moore_Aug 21, 2014

What I am really looking to happen is for the F5 to redirect the initial web-request and then get out of the way. Due to security concerns, I want to make sure that the user only hits the filemanager portion of the NAS (not the admin page.)
