Irule Query

1)Can we point multiple requests to multiple VIP by doing a redirection? Eg: http://home.xyz.com should still point to SharePoint 2010 server and when user hits •[http://home.xyz.com/Site1(should](http://home.xyz.com/Site1(should) be redirected to http://new-home.xyz.com/Site1) •http://home.xyz.com/Site1/SiteA (be redirected to http://new-home.xyz.com/Site1/SiteA) Basically I am looking at a wildcard redirection possibility like http://home.xyz.com/Site1* pointing to new SharePoint environment.

 

Irule proposed for this request:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { ( [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/site1" ) } { HTTP::redirect "http://new-home.xyz.com/Site1"; } elseif {( [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/SiteA" ) } { HTTP::redirect "http://new-home.xyz.com/Site1/SiteA"; } }

    Using a switch statement in your HTTP_REQUEST event iRule would be best, something like this:

    switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
  "/site1*" {
     this will match on any string that starts with "/site1    
    HTTP::redirect https:://new.home.xyz.com[HTTP::uri]    
  }  
  "/sitea*" {
     this will match on any string that starts with "/site1    
    HTTP::redirect https:://new.home.xyz.com/Site1/[HTTP::uri]
  }
}
