Irule Redirection Problems

Hi,

I would recommend first combining all of the logic into one event. Your example switch statement used the "string tolower" function but the matching values were capitialized. You may also consider adding a default section if you have some other condition to match.

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
        "sitea.com" {
            if { [HTTP::uri] ends_with "/" } { 
                HTTP::redirect "http://192.168.0.0/subdirectory"
            }
        }
        "siteb.com" { pool B } 
        "sitec.com" { pool C } 
    }
}

If you are testing an iRule but it won't load, check the /var/log/ltm log file to see if any runtime error messages are logged.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

can you try this irule:

when HTTP_REQUEST priority { 

switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] { 
    "SiteA.com" { 
        if { [HTTP::uri] == "/" } { 
            HTTP::redirect "https://SiteA.com/subdirectory"
        }
        SSL::disable serverside
        pool A 
    }
    "SiteB.com" { pool B } 
    "SiteC.com" { pool C } 
} 
}

As you can noticed, I disable ssl server on site A side, Can you confirm that poolmember in pool A don't listen in 443 (TLS).

Second point In your VS don't forget to

set a oneconnect profil

. is important it will allow you to do a per request decision for forwardin to the right pool.

Last point i modified the condition for Site A, I set

[HTTP::uri] == "/"

instead

[HTTP::uri] ends_with "/"

, I think that it's more logical and is what you want to do!!!

last point let me know if you see again in your browser ";; and not http://siteA.com/subdirectory. In this case we will need to set a rewrite the location header.

keep me update.

why i see in browser ";; and not http://siteA.com/subdirectory

HTTP::redirect "http://192.168.0.0/subdirectory"

means the f5 send a response to the browser to go to this url...

Youssef solution may solve your issue, except the redirect which may be

HTTP::redirect "/subdirectory"    

Youssef’s solution works but is not optimal.
