iRule for Redirrecting based upon URI

Through support from F5 I found that I should use HTTP:path instead of HTTP:uri

 

 

This is why:

 

 

The issue is that the HTTP:uri command begins parsing with the slash after the hostname, then grabs the path, then the query.

 

 

From DevCentral:

 

 

 

HTTP::uri

 

 

* Returns the URI of the request. It does not include the protocol (http or https) or hostname, just the path and query string, starting with the slash after the hostname.

Based on your example URL, "HTTP:uri" will return the entire line, as everything that follows the "?" character represents the query.

 

 

Try this instead:

 

 

HTTP::path

 

 

"Returns or sets the path part of the HTTP request. The path is defined as the path and filename in a request. It does not include the query string."
