    ​Daniel,

    you are correct, when I change to HTTP:uri, it works. Thanks a lot for your support.

Hi Hien,

 

your iRule is not redirecting because HTTP:path is only index.cfm. The ty=dir is the query parameter and is in the HTTP::query command. The query is defined as the part of the request past the ? character. See below image for explanation.

Maybe you can do the check in a different way. Use the switch statement for the HTTP::path and use a nested if / else statement for the HTTP::query. Check this out for examples: https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/irules-101-13-nested-conditionals

Man, I am blind. You could also use HTTP::uri which contains both, the path and the query parameter...
