NimbostratusHTTP Redirect retaining source Port
We have an application server that, depending on the port, will provide a different applications web page. When I try to force https the port is getting removed resulting in the Default page showing and not the correct one. Is there a way to have the irule keep the port while doing the HTTP::redirect to https?
Current rule: when HTTP_REQUEST { HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" log "[HTTP::header Connection]" TCP::close }
Example: redirected to
TIA Gordon

JGYou need to enable URL rewrite in your HTTP profile. Please see: K14775: Configuring an HTTP profile to rewrite URLs so that redirects from an HTTP server specify the HTTPS protocol.
If the non-HTTPS links are hard-coded in the content page, then you would need a stream profile to rewrite them.
Your example shows:
redirected to
This iRule will do that:
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { TCP::collect 5 } when CLIENT_DATA { switch -glob [TCP::payload] { "GET *" - "POST *" - "PUT *" - "OPTIONS *" - "DELETE *" - "TRACE *" - "CONNECT *" - "HEAD *" { set redirect 1 SSL::disable clientside } } TCP::release } when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [info exists redirect] } { HTTP::respond 302 noserver Connection close Location "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" unset redirect } }
