NimbostratusiRule to add www without changing URL
Hello F5 community, Is there a way to add www in front of the URL while keeping the URL intact? For example: https://abc.com/testfolder/blahblahblah changed to https://WWW.abc.com/testfolder/...
Do you want to change Host header sent from the client in server side connection or do you want to redirect the client to https://WWW.abc.com/testfolder/blahblahblah
to redirect the client, use following code
when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::host] eq "abc.com"} { HTTP::redirect "https://www.abc.com[HTTP::uri]" } }

NacreousDepends what you want.. if you expicitly what to replace "abc.com" with "www.abc.com" you can use this iRule.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::host] eq "abc.com"} {
HTTP::header replace "Host" "www.abc.com"
}
}If you want to add "www" to any host that doesn't have "www" then that's a different request, so a bit more context would be helpful.

NimbostratusHi Lee, please see my response above of what I'm trying to accomplish.

Have you tried your code? Reading your description above, it sounds like the iRule you supplied should work. Changing the incoming host header from abc.com to www.abc.com will leave the URi/Path intact
