Append a parameter to the Location header like this:

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
    If {  [HTTP::is_redirect] } {
        HTTP::header replace Location "[HTTP::header Location]?type=redirected"
    }
}

See this: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.http__is_redirect.ashx

If there are already some parameters in the location header then use this instead: 

HTTP::header replace Location "[HTTP::header Location]&type=redirected"

Thank you John. Following your advise, I have following in my RESPONSE event where I needed to redirect the response somewhere temporarily (302) and also this is where I wanted to indicate in the redirect that it is redirect.. The result is that redirect happens but I do not see the query string in my redirect.. Please advise....Am I embading the header appropriately? when HTTP_RESPONSE { if { $is_sourcehost and [HTTP::status] == 404 } { HTTP::header replace Location "[HTTP::header Location]?type=redirected" HTTP::respond 302 noserver Location "https://temlocation.mydomain.com$uri" } }
