NimbostratusiRule for HTTP redirect from retired URL to new URL
I'm new to iRules and could use some help. I think I have a pretty basic question but I'm not finding the answer after a few searches in DevCentral.
Here is what I'm trying to do....we have a web site that is retiring and will be replaced with a new site. We would like to do an http redirect to the new site when someone hits the old URL. Both sites are HTTPS. We want the URL in the users address bar to change to the new address.
Basic functionality: User goes to https://www.oldsite.com. Redirect is sent to send user to https://www.newsite.com
I've tried some basic HTTP redirect iRules, but none are working for me.
Do I need to use something other than a basic HTTP profile in the vserver I'm applying the iRule to?
Is the HTTPS adding some complexity that I'm not accounting for?

If you don't want the /survey-soutions URI, then don't add the [HTTP::uri] string at the end of the HTTP::respond command. 
eyambej72_11653Thank You.
Michael_Wherry_In these examples we always see that you use the old site as a reference. What if you simply want to say. "Anything that comes to this address" forward to this URL.
Thanks- Kevin_StewartThat's the very basis of the built-in HTTP-to-HTTPS iRule. It simply redirects without a conditional expression.

Ashish Takawale.- nitasswill it work, or do have to made any changes in it.yes, it could work. if you want more specific, switch case can also be used.
e.g.[root@ve10:Active] config b rule myrule list rule myrule { when HTTP_REQUEST { switch [HTTP::host] { "example.in" - "www.example.in" { HTTP::redirect "http://home.example.co.in[HTTP::uri]" } } } } [root@ve10:Active] config curl -IL http://example.in/something HTTP/1.0 302 Found Location: http://home.example.co.in/something Server: BigIP Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Length: 0 HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:14:19 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
