Irule for url redirection

Tried to update my original response, but it didn't save right, so here's a copy of it again... nitass' response is what I intended. (So I'll paste it back in)

You could also use an iRule to accomplish this, though it's less efficient since this is a pretty basic requirement, and the built in functionality would work.

the iRule would look something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "abc.mydomain.com" && [HTTP::uri] equals "/"} {
        HTTP::redirect "http://abc.mydomain.com:8080/update/manifest/Login.jsp"
        return

         You could also user HTTP::respond if you wanted more control over the response
        HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://abc.mydomain.com:8080/update/manifest/Login.jsp"
    }
}
