Http traffic redirection with irule

Yes. The iRule will affect all http traffic (http and https both). I would also suggest changing your

if

to a

switch

statement, since it's a little cleaner, especially if you plan to add more options in the future. (Just a thought)

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -glob -- [string tolower [HTTP::header value User-Agent]] {
        "*msie6*" -
        "*msie7*" -
        "*msie8*" -
        "*mozilla/4.0*" {
            pool pool1
        default {
            pool pool2
        }
    }
}

The comments don't format links and stuff the same as 'answers', so I'll answer your question like this.

 

Here are a couple links to API documentation for how to do HTTP actions within an iRule:

 

• HTTP command, which lets you do a lot of stuff
• HTTP::header command, for managing headers themselves

not sure this will work with your VS configuration for https traffic. You need a clientssl profile to decrypt the ssl traffic so the bigip can read the http data (headers etc.). But if you add a clientssl profile then port 80 traffic won't work. N

Hi nathan, Thanks for your comment. I am not doing any ssl offloading on LTM.

Ajaypra,

 

then, did you test? the irule works on https traffic?
