iRule not adding www (only in chrome)

I have two VS one that is listening on 80 and the other on 443.

 

There's an iRule applied to the 80 VS called "redirectSecureURI" which is basically referencing a data group list that has a bunch of secure strings.

 

Example the data group list may have a string record for "/wife" so that when someone types happy.com/wife it uses https.

 

There's also another iRule applied to the 80 VS, example below, which adds the "www" if it doesn't exist:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] equals "happy.com" } { HTTP::respond 301 Location ".[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" } }

 

My problem is that ONLY in chrome when I go to happy.com/wife which is supposed to be secure and also add the www it literally doesn't even load the page.

 

In every other browser it works.

 

Has anyone seen this before?

    Try appending 

    Connection Close
    to your HTTP respond statement. Chrome/Chromium has has their own mechanics when it comes to handling of TCP connections.

    HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" Connection Close

    Alternatively, if you have 2 iRules which handle HTTP redirects, are you not triggering TCL multiple redirect/response violation? (Check /var/log/ltm). If that's your problem, also add in a 

    event disable
    function, just one line below your 
    HTTP::respond
    function.

    Note that to give a try with this new config, you must close your browser and start with a new Window. A new Tab will not suffice.

    Good luck
