Hi guys, I'm playing around with irules and im trying to do some smarts around a base url redirect and then a rewrite on sub folders. So if you hit testdata.com it will redirect you to xyz.com ...

Hi whootang,

If you use starts_with for "/", second "if" will never work.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {
		HTTP::redirect "https://xyz.com/"
	}
	if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/data/" } {
		HTTP::redirect "http://abc.com[HTTP::uri]"
	}
}

Alternative:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { [HTTP::host] equals "testdata.com" } {
		switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
			"/" { HTTP::redirect "https://xyz.com/" }
			"/data/*" { HTTP::redirect "http://abc.com[HTTP::uri]" }
		}
	}
}
