HTTP redirect based upon URL

 

I'm fairly new to iRules. I went through examples I've found on the forums but wanted to see if anyone has time to double check my logic/syntax...

 

 

I have two VIPs on the same IP. One on 80 and one on 443. The 80 only has an iRule as a resource to redirect to the 443.

 

 

I have an existing iRule applied to the VIP listening on port 80 to redirect to https...

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

HTTP::redirect https://app.abc.org[HTTP::uri]

 

}

 

 

I was specific about the host so it would match the certificate I have on the SSL VIP.

 

 

 

The VIP on 443 terminates SSL with a cert for "app.abc.org" and has a pool of servers listening on port 80 behind it. There is no iRule currently applied to this VIP.

 

 

 

A new requirement is coming up where several more URLs currently hosted elsewhere will have their DNS updated to use the IP that hosts this VIP.

 

 

They will need to be redirected to the "app.abc.org" that matches the SSL cert but with a special path... "https://app.abc.org/new-app/home"

 

 

They include...

 

http://new-app.abc.com

 

http://new-app.abc.org

 

http://new-app.abc.net

 

http://www.new-app.abc.com

 

http://www.new-app.abc.org

 

http://www.new-app.abc.net

 

 

(as well as the https versions of the above)

 

 

 

So I'm thinking I can set an 'if' to look for "new-app.abc" in the host requested and redirect all the ones that include new-app.abc to the "https://app.abc.org/new/home" and leave the original redirect in as an 'else' for the rest of the requests that may be looking for other uri paths.

 

 

I'm guessing I'd also need to add a redirect iRule on the 443 VIP to redirect all the https attempts made to new-app.abc to be "https://app.abc.org/new/home" but without need for the else part

 

 

 

My thoughts

 

 

 

On the 80 VIP...

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::host] contains "new-app.abc" } {

 

HTTP::redirect https://app.abc.org/new/home

 

}

 

else {

 

HTTP::redirect https://app.abc.org[HTTP::uri]

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

On the 443VIP...

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::host] contains "new-app.abc" } {

 

HTTP::redirect https://app.abc.org/new/home

 

}

 

}

 

 

Any thoughts and insights are appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,
