HTTP to HTTPS redirect

Here is an example. You apply this on VIP on port 80. This is assuming you have the same VIP on port 443

when HTTP_REQUEST {
      HTTP::redirect "https://domain.com[HTTP::uri]"
}

Hi,

 

I want to have an irule to redirect all incoming traffic from http to https, host and the URI remaining the same.

 

I browsed through the forum and could not find the above. Please help in this.

Is there a reason you re-posted the original post as a quote? Did I miss something?

Hi,

 

 

I encountering a a peculiar issue here using this irule.

 

I am using the rule as below -

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[matchclass [ string tolower [HTTP::uri] ] contains $::applist]} {

 

HTTP::redirect https://172.25.100.220[HTTP::uri] }

 

}

 

}

 

 

Now the issue is -

 

 

Applist contains a string of all virtual directories (IIS6) for ex. abc, pqr, test.

 

 

now i type the URL http://VIP1/xyz/per/ajskc/test.aspx

 

 

By the irule, the above should not match and should not redirect to HTTPS, but it is redirecting to HTTPS.

 

 

When i put a log statement in irule for [HTTP::uri], i got this value /xyz/per/ajskc/test.aspx

 

 

Can we modify the irule in someway so that i can strip the entire URI and consider only the first part for compare.

 

 

Require help urgently.

 

 

TIA,

 

 

Ravi

 

Hi,

to handle only the first part of the uri between "/" you should try to use the command getfield: Click here

set first_part [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 2]
log local0. "first part is $first_part"

in your example: /xyz/per/ajskc/test.aspx first_part should be xyz

Thanks,

 

 

I did it slightly the other way using findstr as below -

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[matchclass [findstr [ string tolower [HTTP::uri]] / 1 /] contains $::cls1apps]} {

 

HTTP::redirect http://172.25.103.252[HTTP::uri] }

 

}

 

 

Thanks,
