Aug 02, 2011HTTP::Querry matching referal?
I have a BigIP running 9.4.7 HF2 (it is scheduled to be upgraded to 10.x in a month or two). I have an iRule who's behavior does not make sense to me, but I fairly new to iRules.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::query]] {
"*db_oem_id*" {
HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://[HTTP::host][HTTP::path]"
}
default {
nothing
}
}
}
Basically, I'd like to see if the HTTP query (the part of the URL after the ?) contains db_oem_id, and if so, redirect back to the same page, but without any query at all. This works for the most part; however, if you are coming FROM an external page that has db_oem_id in it, the F5 is still redirecting, based (I'm guessing) on the Referer (which then causes an infinite loop). This behavior seems odd to me. Am I doing something wrong? The below is from a Wireshark capture.
