Hi cymru81,

You should use starts_with instead of ends_with.

When using starts_with, /abc/def/x path matches with condition.

If you don't want redirect for /abc/def/x, you can use this iRule:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { [HTTP::host] equals "www.site.com" } {
		switch [HTTP::path] {
			"/abc/def" -
			"/abc/def/" { HTTP::redirect https://www.domain.com }
		}
	}
}

    Hi eaa

     

    Thanks for responding, unfortunately that still doesnt work when changing to starts_with

     

    We still want visitors to be able to navigate to /abc/ but with this irule applied its redirecting them to www.domain.com ?

      Hi,

       

      Only /abc/def and /abc/def/ match this iRule. /abc/ does not match.

      could there be something else in my original rule causing this as if i go to www.site.com/abc it blanket redirects to www.domain.com ?

      We always should look at possibilities, to confirm this, I'd suggest to put loggings in the Irule block and see where this redirection is getting triggered.
