https redirection

how about this? looks ok?

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0. "Incoming URI = [HTTP::uri]"
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "devcentral.com" && [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/groups/Research/" } {
        set uri [string map -nocase {"/groups/Research/" "/devresearch/"} [HTTP::uri]]
        log local0. "New URI = $uri"
        HTTP::redirect "https://f5.com[$uri]"
    }
}

 

This is a rough template. You may have to play around with the getfield command to achieve your requirements:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ([HTTP::host] eq "devcentral.com") and ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/groups/Research/") } {
HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://f5.com/devresearch[getfield [HTTP::uri] "/groups/Research" 2]"
}
}

 

minor change in above rule

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0. "Incoming URI = [HTTP::uri]"
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "devcentral.com" && [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/groups/Research/" } {
        set uri [string map -nocase {"/groups/Research" "/devresearch"} [HTTP::uri]]
        log local0. "New URI = $uri"
        HTTP::redirect "https://f5.com[$uri]"
    }
}

 

again minor change

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0. "Incoming URI = [HTTP::uri]"
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "devcentral.com" && [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/groups/Research/" } {
        set uri [string map -nocase {"/groups/Research" "/devresearch"} [HTTP::uri]]
        log local0. "New URI = $uri"
        HTTP::redirect "https://f5.com[http::uri $uri]"
    }
}

 

Hi Anush,

accuracy and performance wise the code below would be most effective...

 

if { ( [HTTP::host] eq "devcentral.com" ) and ( [HTTP::path] starts_with "/groups/Research/" ) } then {
    HTTP::redirect "https://f5.com/devresearch/[string range [HTTP::uri] 17 end]"
}

 

... almost equals (but without -NOCASE support)...

 

if { ( [HTTP::host] eq "devcentral.com" ) and ( [HTTP::path] starts_with "/groups/Research/" ) } then {
    HTTP::redirect "https://f5.com/devresearch/[findstr [HTTP::uri] "/groups/Research/" 17 end]"
}

 

... closely followed by a ...

 

if { ( [HTTP::host] eq "devcentral.com" ) and ( [HTTP::path] starts_with "/groups/Research/" ) } then {
    HTTP::redirect "https://f5.com/devresearch/[string range [HTTP::uri] [string length "/groups/Research/"] end]"
}

 

... almost equals (but without -NOCASE support) ...

 

if { ( [HTTP::host] eq "devcentral.com" ) and ( [HTTP::path] starts_with "/groups/Research/" ) } then {
    HTTP::redirect  "https://f5.com/devresearch/[findstr [HTTP::uri] "/groups/Research/" [string length "/groups/Research/"] end]"
}

if { ( [HTTP::host] eq "devcentral.com" ) and ( [HTTP::path] starts_with "/groups/Research/" ) } then {
    HTTP::redirect "https://f5.com/devresearch/[getfield [HTTP::uri] "/groups/Research/" 2]"
}

 

... followed by the less accurate (the [string map] search patter may occour multiple times) and less performant method ...

 

if { ( [HTTP::host] eq "devcentral.com" ) and ( [HTTP::path] starts_with "/groups/Research/" ) } then {
    HTTP::redirect "https://f5.com[string map [list "/groups/Research/" "/devresearch/"] [HTTP::uri]]"
}

 

Update: Included the [findstr] command.

Cheers, Kai

I think the below code would work best for you -

 

if { ( [HTTP::host] eq "devcentral.com" ) and ( [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/groups/Research/" ) } then { HTTP::redirect "https://f5.com/devresearch/[string range [HTTP::uri] 17 end]" }
