iRule redirect question

Hi all,

 

Could someone help me with configuring an iRule that redirects http://www.abc.com to https://www.abc.com:81

 

I have an example of an HTTP to HTTPS redirection but I'm not sure how to redirect to a different destination port.

 

Thanks

    a basic rule that can be applied to a port 80 virtual server that redirects all traffic from port 80 to port 81 would be

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::redirect https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]:81[HTTP::uri]
}

    Basically the built in redirect rule with :81 squeezed between the host and the URI where it belongs.

    Result:

    Escape character is '^]'.
GET /path?query HTTP/1.1
Host: www.abc.com
Connection: Close

HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Location: https://www.abc.com:81/path?query
Server: BigIP
Connection: close
