iRule to redirect

what is url user sends to https virtual server?

 

 

where is the apache/tomcat? is it pool member of the https virtual server or is it external server? what url do you want to send to it?

The https request goes to a virtual server and then to apache/tomcat. The virtual server is working fine and can see the apache/tomcat. I can connect dircetly to the apache/tomcat using but if I try to connect using that is where my problem lies. I need to have an iRule that when a request comes in to direct it specfically to site.html. Thx for the response!

not sure if i understand correctly.

e.g.

[root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   pool foo
   destination 172.28.19.79:443
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
   profiles {
      clientssl {
         clientside
      }
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b pool foo list
pool foo {
   members 200.200.200.101:8080 {}
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if {[HTTP::uri] eq "/"} {
      HTTP::uri "/site.html"
   }
}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  ssldump -Aed -nni 0.0 port 443 or port 8080 -k /config/ssl/ssl.key/default.key

The frontend site is https://something.something.com which is to the virtual server, which is then supposed to forward to http://host:8080/site.html. Our problem is getting to the /site.html part. Thx!

You can create a iRule that does the following like Nitass sates

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {

 

HTTP::uri "/site.html"

 

}

 

 

The iRule when then cause the URI to to the server to be /site.html. Now if you want you change change it to a full redirect this will force the customer URI to change so if they bookmark the site it will be correct.

 

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]:8080:/site.html or

 

HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]/site.html

 

Thanks for the input but it looks like we are going to have to do some more troubleshooting because we still get the web page "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage from the frontend. Thx!

Have you looked through your log /var/log/ltm? When internet explorer give the page can not be displayed it is a very generic error it could be a reset coming from the LTM or something else. At this point we need a conf snip of the iRule and the VIP to help or any error from the LTM logs.

does the server accept something.something.com as host header?

 

 

e.g.

 

 

curl -I http://x.x.x.x:8080/site.html -H "Host: something.something.com"

 

x.x.x.x is the server ip

Still not working got this response back:
