http and https redirect in one irule

Question

i got two virtual servers, one for port 80 (http) and one for port 443 (https), is it possible to create one irule which can be used on both servers and where when used on the http server the redirects are done to http://... and on the https server the redirects are done to https://...&nbsp;
&nbsp;is this easily possible or would i be better off writing two irules?&nbsp;

Shouldn't be hard to do, just include a snippet to sniff out the port.

Hi boneyard, 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; You could use URI::protocol, key off of the TCP::local_port, or you could look at the HTTP Profile in the "Redirect Rewrite" option. 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; Hope this helps.

Hi Boneyard, 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; You could do this in one iRule by checking the TCP::local_port or SSL::mode values.  But I think it's simpler and  more efficient to just write separate iRules for HTTP and HTTPS.
