http referer usage in iRule

Hi,

 

 

Need a configuration sample where we can compare that if the http referrer for a particular site is NULL then redirect to a particular location.

 

 

The link to be compared for http referrer and the link to which it should be redirected has the same http host but different http URI.

 

 

eg: If http referrer is Null for "www.abc.com/xyz" then redirect to "www.abc.com/pqr".

 

 

How do we accomplish this ?

 

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

KD.

    This should do it for you (or something similar). 

    when HTTP_REQUEST { 
   if { ![HTTP::header exists "Referer"] } { 
     switch -glob [HTTP::uri] { 
       "/xyz*" { 
         HTTP::redirect "http://www.abc.com/pqr" 
       } 
       "/abc*" { 
         HTTP::redirect "http://www.abc.com/def" 
       } 
     } 
   } 
 }

    Notice Referer is spelled wrong in the RFC so don't type in "Referrer" or it will never pass.
