NimbostratusIF http::host NOTEQUALS? Whats the correct way to do this?
I apologize but the formatting is not showing properly.
Im trying to find the "right way" to write this iRule - but I cannot confirm there is a "not equal" that exists....
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ([HTTP::host] notequals "orders.widgets.com") } {
HTTP::redirect "https://orders.widgets.com/redirectpage.html"
}
}
The reasoning for this is that we had a * (wildcard) cert and we are trying to get everyone off to use the main page. If they are not coming in on the main page as we have asked them - they will be redirected to a redirect warning page - hold there for 10 seconds and then the server (pool member) will redirect them to the appropriate page.

Normally you'd use a ! to negate a match, so
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { ([HTTP::host] != "orders.widgets.com") } { HTTP::redirect "https://orders.widgets.com/redirectpage.html" } }Don't forget to use string tolower before you try to match.

Hi,
The right syntax is
To compare stringsnewhen HTTP_REQUEST { if { ([HTTP::host] ne "orders.widgets.com") } { HTTP::redirect "https://orders.widgets.com/redirectpage.html" } }
