iFile maintenance page issue with longer paths

Hi Jani,

I stringly recommend you to not use a 200OK for every response send to your site. It will pretty much hurt your existing SEO ratings...

Its far more elegant to tell your clients (and also search engines) that the site is currently not available by 407 - Temporary Redirect to a given Maintenante-Page which is then served using a 503 - Service Unavailable status code.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [active_members Pool-X] < 1 } then { 
        switch -exact -- [HTTP::uri] { 
            "/image.png" { 
                HTTP::respond 503 content [ifile get "image.png"] "Content-Type" "image/png" 
            } 
            "/maintenance.html" { 
                HTTP::respond 503 content [ifile get "maintenance_page"] "Content-Type" "text/html" 
            }
            default { 
                HTTP::respond 407 Location "/maintenance.html"
            } 
        }
    }
}

Note: To make the image load in your current iRule example, you may review your HTML and make sure the image file is referenced via "/image.png" (absolute to root web) instead of using just "image.png" (relative to the current web folder). I'm pretty much sure this would fix your original iRule and problem...

Cheers, Kai

Just add extra path to the ifile location, one will work on the main page and the other on the path, enter like this:

1. when HTTP_REQUEST {
2.  
3. if {([active_members Pool-X]) < 1} {
4.  
5. switch [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
6.  
7. "/image.png" {
8. HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "image.png"] "Content-Type" "image/png"
9. }
10. "/abc/image.png" {
11. HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "image.png"] "Content-Type" "image/png"
12. }
13. default {
14. HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "maintenance_page"] "Content-Type" "text/html" connection close
15. event disable
16. }
17. }
18. }
19. }
