NimbostratusHTTP::redirect restrictions?
Hi,
Im trying to redirect all requests from an IP to a specific page, to a completely new URL. The redirect works but it always goes to our base domain no matter what I specify as redirect target. ...

CirrusIt sounds like you want to preserve the URI portion of the original request. If so you would want to modify it as so:
HTTP::redirect "http://www.google.com[HTTP::uri]"
I also use a little trick to ensure that I keep them on the same protocol the arrived on by doing the following:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[TCP::local_port] eq 80} {
set proto "http"
}
elseif {[TCP::local_port eq 443} {
set proto "https"
}
else {
log local0. "UNKNOWN PORT!"
}
if {[HTTP::uri] contains "blah_blah_blah"} {
HTTP::redirect $proto://www.google.com[HTTP::uri]
}
}

If you need to issue a redirect for "permanently moved" you will need to do the following: HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.google.com[HTTP::uri]"
