irule To Redirect A Specific Network Going To a URL

Hi,

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { ([class match [IP::client_addr] equals India_Host_Networks]) and ([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "site.domain.com") } {
        HTTP::redirect " https://local.domain.com/stream/"
    }
}

To be on the safe side I added a lower case conversion for the hostname. Just make sure to match versus lower case strings as well, please.

Thanks Stephan! I actually didn't apply the irule yet, but thanks for the correction. Is there something we can add in case a network hits the irule that isn't part of the india group? This way the traffic would continue on to site.domain.com and not redirect to local.domain.com/stream.

Perfect! Thanks for clarifying Kai.

Thank you both for your answers. I have an existing irule we call Universal Redirect can the irule we worked on be applied in the Universal Redirect? Below is the start of the irule. If I add the new code like the below will that work?

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
      "*sitename.domain.com*" {
          add the redirect link to "sitename.domain.com"
         HTTP::redirect "https://sitename.domain.com"
      }
      "*sitename.domain.com*" {
         HTTP::redirect "https://sitename.domain.com"
      }
   if { ([class match [IP::client_addr] equals India_Host_Networks]) and ([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equal "site.domain.com") } {
        HTTP::redirect " https://local.domain.com/stream/"
      }
      default {
          add the default action you prefer ie "www.def.com"
         HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
      }
   }
}

Hi,

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
      "sitename1.domain.com" {
          add the redirect link to "sitename.domain.com"
         HTTP::redirect "https://sitename1.domain.com"
         return
      }
      "sitename2.domain.com" {
         if { [class match [IP::client_addr] equals India_Host_Networks] } {
             HTTP::redirect " https://local.domain.com/stream/"
             return
         } else {
             HTTP::redirect "https://sitename2.domain.com"
             return
         }
      }
      default {
          add the default action you prefer ie "www.def.com"
         HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
         return
      }
   }
}

From my perspective it is best practice to add a return after using HTTP::redirect or HTTP::response because it can be used only once in the context of HTTP_REQUEST.

Thanks for the tip Stephan, so in the case of below where I have several redirects it should look like the below.

Also, I found out there are some requirements that I missed. Basically, we are doing a video redirect from one server to the next. That said I will need to create 2 irules for these redirects and maintain the variable from the client in the redirect. Using the irule we worked on, how do we maintain the client variable.

Redirect 1 https://media.domain.com:8443/stream/{Variable} redirect to https://InhydNimble1.domain.com/stream/{Variable} Redirect 2 https://media.domain.com:8443/video/{Variable} redirect to https://InhydNimble1.domain.com/video/{Variable}

      }
   if { ([class match [IP::client_addr] equals India_Host_Networks]) and ([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equal media.domain.com") } {
        HTTP::redirect " https://InhydNimble1.domain.com/"
        return
      }
      "*change*" {
         HTTP::redirect "http://site.domain.com/cm"
         return
      }
      "*empcon*" {
         HTTP::redirect "http://site.domain.com/?cmd=login"
         return
      }
      "*im*" {
         HTTP::redirect "https://site.domain.com/IntegratedLogin.asp"
         return
      }
      "*helpdesk*" {
         HTTP::redirect "https://site.domain.com/IntegratedLogin.asp"
         return
      }
      "*ipplan" {
         HTTP::redirect "https://site.domain.com/ipplan "
         return
      }
      "*schedule" {
         HTTP::redirect "http://site.domain.com/arrivemrp/ "
         return
      }

It would look like the following to stick to your example with the string "media" contained in the hostname:

  }
  "*media*" {
       if { [class match [IP::client_addr] equals India_Host_Networks] } {
           HTTP::redirect " https://InhydNimble1.domain.com[HTTP::uri]"
           return
       } else {
           HTTP::redirect " https://media.domain.com[HTTP::uri]"
           return
       }
  }
  "*change*" {
     HTTP::redirect "http://site.domain.com/cm"
     return
  }
  "*empcon*" {
     HTTP::redirect "http://site.domain.com/?cmd=login"
     return
  }
  "*im*" {
     HTTP::redirect "https://site.domain.com/IntegratedLogin.asp"
     return
  }

By adding the

[HTTP::uri]

Thanks Stephan! So to summarize, the above rule will direct request for media.domain.com to InhydNimble1.domain.com if they are part of the India_Host_Networks.

Perfect! I will test it out. Again thanks so much for your help Stephan.
