Irule forwarding with various options

Hello,

What we done is redirect and not forwarding.

First of for https redirecting you have to create a specific VS with an http profile and irule provide by F5 that allow redirect from http to https. exemple:

VS-mysite-80 --> IP1 (with an irule for https redirect provide by F5 --> _sys_https_redirect + http profile)

VS-mysite-443 --> IP1 (same IP that VS-mysite-80) + Irule that I provide you below

VS-bettersite-80 --> IP2 (with an irule for https redirect provide by F5 --> _sys_https_redirect + http profile)

VS-bettersite-443 --> IP2 (same IP that VS-bettersite-80) + Irule that I provide you below

second time you have to create a specific IRULE for URI and Hostname redirect without taking into account https redirection.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { ([HTTP::uri] eq "/") && (([HTTP::host] eq "mysite.com") && ([HTTP::host] eq "www.mysite.com")) } {

HTTP::redirect https://www.bettersite.com/mysite/

}

}

Hi,

instead of multiple if commands, it is recommended to use switch

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "mysite.com" } {
        switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {
            "/" - 
            "/mysite/" { HTTP::redirect https://www.bettersite.com/mysite/ }
            default {
                HTTP::redirect https://www.bettersite.com/mysite[HTTP::uri]
                return
            }
        }
    } else { HTTP::respond 301 Location https://www.mysite.com[HTTP::uri] return }    
}

when appending [HTTP::uri] to a host, do not add / as [HTTP::uri] already starts with /

Hello Sokol, Now I understand your need.

So to maitain the uri you have to use the follwing irule:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { ([HTTP::uri] eq "/") && (([HTTP::host] eq "mysite.com") || ([HTTP::host] eq "www.mysite.com")) } {

HTTP::redirect https://www.bettersite.com/mysite/

} else {

HTTP::redirect https://www.bettersite.com[HTTP::uri]

}

}

or to do more simple:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/" } {

HTTP::redirect https://www.bettersite.com/mysite/

} else {

HTTP::redirect https://www.bettersite.com[HTTP::uri]

}

}
