IRULE HTTP Redirection

Senthil, can you provide a little more info on your setup? Are abc.com and xyz.com both VIPs on your F5? Are you redirecting all the requests or just a specific path?

Thanks for your reply Eugene.

xyz.com is external link its not VIP in our F5. Redirection required for all the requests to this URL http://abc.com/xxx/* . So anything comes after xxx/* should be redirected. i have given below examples

Example 1:

http://abc.com/xxx/community/ http://xyz.com/xxx/community/

Example 2:

http://abc.com/xxx/test/ http://xyz.com/xxx/test/

Thanks, Senthil

You are looking for a rewrite, not redirection. Try something like this.

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
     set http_host [string tolower [HTTP::host]]
     switch $http_host { 
         "abc.com" { 
             HTTP::host xyz.com
             return 
         }

Hi bepsoccer,

Thanks your reply. I do not want to match only domain abc.com. rewrite or redirection has to be done for abc.com/xxx not for main domain abc.com.

Can you Please help me ?

Thanks, Senthil

Try something like this.

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
 set http_host [string tolower [HTTP::host]]
 if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]]  equals  "abc.com" }{ 
    switch -glob $uri {
        "xxx" { HTTP::host xyz.com
            return }
    }
 }

HI,

I tried creating this IRULE but getting Error.Attached the screenshot.

Thanks, Senthil

How about something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "abc.com" }{
      switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
        "/xxx" -
        "/xxx/*" {
          HTTP::host xyz.com
          return
        }
      }
  }
}
