How to append www to a url

Anyone know how I would rewrite the following rule for v9.x?

 

 

else if (http_header("Host") starts_with "mysite") {

 

redirect to "http://www.mysite.com/%u"

 

}

 

 

Or is there a better way to append www to a url?

 

 

Thanks

    You could either redirect to www.mysite.com, or rewrite the request before it's sent to the pool and not send a rediret back to the client.

    Redirect:

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { HTTP::host starts_with "mysite" }{
      HTTP::redirect http://www.mysite.com/[HTTP::uri]
   }
}

    Or you could rewrite the request and send it to the pool:

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { HTTP::host starts_with "mysite" }{
      HTTP::host www.mysite.com
   }
}
