http and https redirect

Roger,

your suggested rule is syntactically incorrect. Assuming that you really want to send request with URIs starting with "/happy" to partnersite_pool and the rest to mysite_pool, your rule should look like this:

rule {
   if(http_uri starts_with "/happy") {
      use pool partnersite_pool
   }
   else {
      use pool mysite_pool
   }
}

To answer your first question: HTTP and HTTPS requests are best separated by configuring separate virtual servers for port 80 (HTTP) and port 443 (HTTPS). Please refer to BIG-IP Reference Guide for details. Keep in mind that iRules cannot evaluate HTTPS requests unless the SSL connection is terminated (decrypted) by the BIG-IP.
