HTTP to HTTPS Redirect based on URI

The HTTP::uri is case sensitive depending on which operating system you are using (Apache vs. IIS, and probably a few others).

 

 

The [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] forces all of the characters to lower case so that you have a "known state" to compare against.

 

 

So if the incoming URI is /ABC it forces it to /abc. Doing so makes a comparison like [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/abc" for for both.

 

 

You can read more about it on the Wiki Entry: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.SetUriToLowerCase.ashx

 

 

Let me know if you have any more questions. Glad it all worked out for you.
