irule issue - URI Case

Hello Ralph,

In a quick review of the syntax (not logic) of the irule, I see you are not utilizing a [string tolower] for

{ [HTTP::path] contains "/hr-dept/" }

Was that intentional?

You are very right i am just rewriting for this. Would please suggest the complete syntax to make it lower as well as in whole irule any character apart from the uri mentioned if typed in url should be in lower case . That will be very very helpful ?

Hi,

You can try this irule:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    STREAM::disable
    set path [string tolower [HTTP::path]]
    set host [HTTP::host]
    HTTP::path $path
    switch -glob $path {
        "/" {
            if { [HTTP::header "Accept-Language"] starts_with "fr" } {
                HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://www.mylocalnet.com/fr/pages/default.aspx"
                }
            }
        "/insidecontent/insidecontent.xml" {
            HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://insidecontent.mylocalnet.com/insidecontent/insidecontent.xml"
            }
        "*/hr-dept/*" {
            HTTP::respond 301 noserver Location "https://[HTTP::host][string map -nocase {hr-dept hr-depart} $path]"
           do not include protocol and host in redirect if hosted on the same base URL.
            HTTP::respond 301 noserver Location "[string map -nocase {hr-dept hr-depart} $path]"
        }
    }

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
    if { [HTTP::header is_redirect]} {
     Replace absolute URL by relative URL to remove both hostname and protocol
        HTTP::header replace Location [string map "http://$host/ /" [HTTP::header value Location]]
    } elseif { [HTTP::header Content-Type] contains "text" } {
         Replace absolute URL by relative URL to remove both hostname and protocol. This does not rewrite links to others URLs which were rewritten by previous irule
        STREAM::expression "@http://$host/@/@ "
        Replace absolute URL by relative URL to remove both hostname and protocol and rewrite URLs. 
        STREAM::expression "@http://$host/@/@ @http://s5.ccaduae.ae@https://s5.ccaduae.ae@ @preprod.ccaduae.ae@www.mylocalnet.com@ @http://www.mylocalnet.com@https://www.mylocalnet.com@"
        STREAM::enable
    } 
}

Thanks Darrell for your response. I have tried this but webpage is not loading at all. Please let me share with you complete irule for your information. Currently this irule is providing all the required results as it is written. only issue is in https case when someone types in browser with some capital letters those are not redirected to lowercase. SSL offloading is happening on F5.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

tell server not to compress response HTTP::header remove Accept-Encoding disable STREAM for request flow

STREAM::disable

redirect insidecontent requests to insidecontent site

HTTP::uri "[string tolower [HTTP::path]]?[HTTP::query]"

if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] equals "/" } { if { [HTTP::header "Accept-Language"] starts_with "fr" } { HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://www.mylocalnet.com/fr/pages/default.aspx"

} elseif { [HTTP::header "Accept-Language"] starts_with "en" } { HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://www.mylocalnet.com/en/pages/default.aspx" }

} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] equals "/insidecontent/insidecontent.xml" } { HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://insidecontent.mylocalnet.com/insidecontent/insidecontent.xml"

} elseif { [HTTP::path] contains "/hr-dept/" } { HTTP::respond 301 noserver Location "https://[HTTP::host][string map -nocase {hr-dept hr-dapart} [HTTP::path]]"

} elseif { [HTTP::path] contains "/fin-inst/" } { HTTP::respond 301 noserver Location "https://[HTTP::host][string map -nocase {fin-inst fin-institute} [HTTP::path]]"

} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals "/en/private.xml" } { HTTP::uri "/en-private.xml"

} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] equals "/fr/private.xml" } { HTTP::uri "/fr-private.xml"

} }

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

catch and replace redirect headers

if { [HTTP::header exists Location] } { HTTP::header replace Location [string map {"http://" "https://"} [string tolower [HTTP::header Location]]] }

only look at text data

if { [HTTP::header Content-Type] contains "text" } {

create a STREAM expression to replace any http:// with https:// for content delivery network

STREAM::expression { @ @ @ @ @ @preprod.mylocal.net@ @ }

enable STREAM

STREAM::enable

} }
