How to re-direct the VIP traffic to specific directory of back-end server

The VIP : https://abc.com

 

its pool members are : 10.2.3.2:2001 10.2.3.3:2001

 

Both the backened servers have webpage configured with extension which is accessible only when accessed as : https://10.2.3.2:2001/etc/del

 

And doesn't reply only with : https://10.2.3.2:2001

 

Now how should i configure irule in VIP. So that when it starts the connection to backened server with extension. Or is there a way in server end that whenever a request come for https://10.2.3.2:2001 it auto redirects to https://10.2.3.2:2001/etc/del .

    can you try the below irule.

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "abc.com" } {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals "/" } {
        HTTP::respond 302 noserver Location "http://[getfield [HTTP::host] : 1]/etc/del"
    } else {
        pool mypool.pool

    }
}
}

    • Are you offloading SSL traffic?
    • Are you using an http profile and ClientSSL profile?
    • Can you provide your VIP configuration?
