Irule Help

I have created 2 VIP's.

 

 

1) VIP is with port 80 and nodes with port 8080

 

 

2) VIP is with port 8080 with irule

 

 

The requirement is VIP 2 with port 8080 to not have the hard coded domain names but to use the host variable without the port number. These rules should be redirecting to the default port for http.

 

 

The below irule will meet the requirement or not ? if not please suggest how to write the irule.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST

 

 

{ HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] }

 

 

waiting for help at the earliest

    Hi Sams,

     

     

    So you want to redirect any request made to the VS:8080 to VS:80? If so, you can use getfield to remove the port and send the redirect:

     

     

    
 http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/HTTPToHTTPSRedirect_301.html
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] : 1][HTTP::uri]"
}

     

     

    This strips the port number from the host header and sends a 301 to the new location. If you want to send a 302 instead, just change the status code in HTTP::respond.

     

     

    If I've misinterpreted your scenario, let me know.

    Hello Aron,

     

     

    I want the VS:8080 not have the hard coded domain names but to use the host variable without the port number.

     

    Also the redirection is to http:(VS:80)

     

     

    Thanks,

    Hello Aron,

     

     

    I Checked the devcentral link and found update as "apply this iRule ONLY to the port 80 HTTP-only virtual server"

     

    The redirection irule requirement is from VS:8080 and not for VS:80

     

     

    Thanks,

     

    Sam
