NimbostratusHTTP redirect when Path is / and host is not FQDN
I wrote a simple irule to do HTTP redirect:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { !([string tolower [HTTP::host]] ends_with "mycompany.com") } { append [HTTP::host] "mycompany.com" }
if { [HTTP::path] eq "/" or [HTTP::path] eq "" } {
HTTP::redirect "http://application.mycompany.com/ABC"
}
}
I expect my iRule to redirect:
http://application/ or http://application.mycompany.com/
to
http://application.mycompany.com/ABC
But it is not the case, the iRule is not doing anything when host is not FQDN and it seems the condition evaluation doesn't work for empty path (/)

Hi,
There are some possibilities to get this working.
e.g.
when HTTP_REQUEST { set host [getfield [HTTP::host] : 1] if { not ( [string tolower $host] ends_with "mycompany.com" ) } { append host ".mycompany.com" if { [HTTP::path] ne "/" } { HTTP::redirect "http://$host[HTTP::uri]" } } if { [HTTP::path] eq "/" } { HTTP::redirect "http://$host/ABC" } }Test #1:
