CirrusiRule to remove uri if it starts with a specific path

A redirect is good here if you don't want to issue a 403. If you are going to use a redirect I would suggest a 301 to minimize on repeat traffic from users. 301 is a permanent redirect and the browser will do an internal redirect next time the browser visits vs 302 the browser will always hit your VIP to get the redirect.
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/console" } { HTTP::respond 301 noserver Location "https://[HTTP::host]" } }
