iRule match & processing exit

Hi,  I'm trying write an iRule for an upcoming migration where we have multiple sites (MS Sharepoint) using the same host with different URI's. Some I want to just forward to a specific pool, while ...

    Hi Stefan_Engel,

    In your code, a redirect loop occurs because the redirected page always starts with "intranet". Can you try this iRule?

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { [HTTP::host] starts_with "intranet" && [HTTP::uri] equals "/AAA/" } {
		pool intranet_pool
		return
	} elseif { [HTTP::host] starts_with "intranet" && [HTTP::uri] equals "/BBB/" } {
		pool intranet_pool
		return
	} elseif { [HTTP::host] starts_with "intranet" && [HTTP::uri] ne "/" } {
		HTTP::redirect https://intranet.new
		return
	}
}

    If the uri is not "/", it will redirect.
    If the uri is "/", it will not redirect, traffic will be forwarded to the default pool.
    If there is no character after the hostname in url, the uri is always "/".

I would add some log statements to see exactly what you're getting. It could simply be a string case issue.

On the redirects, your last line is causing this. You're basically saying if the host starts with "intranet", redirect to "intranet.new". But if the same iRule processes intranet.new, then that too will start with "intranet".

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  log local0. "Incoming: [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
  if { ( [HTTP::host] starts_with "intranet" ) && ( [HTTP::uri] equals "/AAA/" ) } { 
    log local0. "Catch /AAA/ - Sending to intranet_pool"
    pool intranet_pool 
  } elseif { ( [HTTP::host] starts_with "intranet" ) && ( [HTTP::uri] equals "/BBB/" ) } { 
    log local0. "Catch /BBB/ - Sending to intranet_pool"
    pool intranet_pool 
  } elseif { ( [HTTP::host] starts_with "intranet" ) && ( [HTTP::host] ne "intranet.net" ) } { 
    HTTP::redirect https://intranet.new
  }
}
