https to https irule for redirection

Hello,

So basically you want to redirect to specific URL with URI right ?

Mayur

yes .. ex

what i want is... https://upvote.com/answer/share should redirect to https://upvote.com/answer/donshare

when i open http://upvote.com/answer/share it will redirect to https://upvote.com/answer/share as of current setup

but if i add irule like

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { ([HTTP::host] equals "upvote.com") and ([HTTP::uri] ends_with "/answer/share) } {

 HTTP::redirect https://upvote.com/answer/donshare

will it work

Do not write a IRULE for this simple task. Even though this redirect will not truely tax the F5 by itself it will due to the nature of IRULES spin off anoher thread that is unneeded. The best way to handle this would be to use a LTP(Local traffic Policy). With any version after 11.x you can do this and it is best to use LTP if you uare not doing heavy content manipulation. I am leaving you a link to review and assist in creating a simple

Furthermore there are built in irules fresh out of the box that you can use, rather than creating your own. If you navigate to local traffic/irules and then look at the irules that begin with _sys you should find one that is for http_to_https redirects and it should look something like this:

 www.dqfansurvey.com

when HTTP_REQUEST {

HTTP::redirect https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]

}

You can try it, else you can even try below iRule.

when HTTP_REQUEST { 

  if { [HTTP::host] contains "abc.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/home" } {

    HTTP::redirect "/home2" 

    return

  }

}

Hope it helps!

To redirect traffic from HTTP to HTTPS using an iRule in an F5 BIG-IP load balancer, you can create a simple iRule that performs the redirection. Here's an example of how the iRule can be configured:
