NimbostratusiRule for HTTP redirect
I am able to get http redirect working for a FQDN (eg - www.xyz.com), which I have it set to go to www.abc.com
The issue I run into is that the redirect to www.abc.com also works when the path has a path following in the FQDN, for eg like www.xyz.com\workspace\default.asp. This also gets redirected to www.abc.com.
How can i setup my iRule to allow http redirect to www.abc.com only if the request is to www.xyz.com, everything else follows the same original URL path.
Please advise & thanks in advance.

Which of the following are you trying to do:
1. Only when a user hits "www.xyz.com", redirect them to "www.abc.com"
2. When a user hits "www.xyz.com/sample", redirect them to "www.abc.com/sample"
This would handle number 1:when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "www.xyz.com" and [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] eq "/" } { HTTP::redirect "http://www.abc.com" } }
This would handle number 2:when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "www.xyz.com" } { HTTP::redirect "http://www.abc.com[HTTP::uri]" } } 
gkorah_32913Chris - Thx for the info. This is what I want to do -
If a user types in www.xyz.com, I am able to redirect that to www.abc.com. No issues there.
When the same user types in www.xyz.com/sample, i want the session to continue to the same URL, www.xyz.com/sample, instead of getting redirected to www.abc.com- Chris_MillerPosted By gkorah on 09/16/2010 08:44 AM

The first rule should accomplish that. - gkorah_32913Perfect. That worked. Thanks for the help.
- FYI-when referring to the "path" after a FQDN, this is typcally called the "uri"
just thought it might help to understand the rule a lil better...
