iRule URL/URI redirect question

Hello, we're implementing Jira in our environment and we want to redirect users and agents to different URIs. I'm trying to implement a rule to do the below:

If user enters: http://support.domain.org/customers LB redirects to: https://support.domain.org/servicedesk/customer/portals

If user enters: http://support.domain.org/agents LB redirects to: https://support.domain.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa

My attempt at this is below, but I'm getting errors.

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

 if { [HTTP::host] equals "support.domain.org" and [HTTP::uri] starts with "/customer"} { 
         HTTP::redirect "https://support.domain.org/servicedesk/customer/portals" 
   } 
 }
 elseif { [HTTP::host] equals "support.domain.org" and [HTTP::uri] starts with "/agents"} { 
         HTTP::redirect "https://support.domain.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa" 
   } 
}
else {
      HTTP::respond 404 content "Unrecognized request to [HTTP::uri]" "Content-Type" "text/html" 
    }
}

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    What errors are you seeing ? Maybe because of "starts_with" but you are not using the underscore.

    You can break it down like this or maybe use switch statements:

        when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::host] eq "support.domain.org" } {
    if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/customers" } {
    HTTP::redirect "https://support.domain.org/servicedesk/customer/portals" 
    } elseif { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/agents" } {
    HTTP::redirect "https://support.domain.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa"
    } else {
    HTTP::respond 404 content "Unrecognized request to [HTTP::uri]" "Content-Type" "text/html" 
    }
}
}

    Hi, you can use irule shown below;

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

    if { ([HTTP::host] eq "support.domain.org") and ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/customers") } { HTTP::redirect "https://support.domain.org/servicedesk/customer/portals" 
} elseif { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/agents" } {
HTTP::redirect "https://support.domain.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa"
} else {
HTTP::respond 404 content "Unrecognized request to [HTTP::uri]" "Content-Type" "text/html" 
}

    }

    Hi dlogsdonmd,

    a nested 

    [if]
    iRule structure shouldn't be that complex to setup. You may take a look to the syntax below to see how your initial requirement can be glued within a rather simple iRule...

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

     Parse the requested HOST-Name using lower case formating...

    set low_host [string tolower [HTTP::host]]

    if { $low_host equals "support.domain.org" } then { 

         Valid HOST-Name detected. Parse the requested PATH using lower case formating...

        set low_path [string tolower [HTTP::path]]

        if { $low_path starts_with "/customer" } then {

             Redirect the request...

            HTTP::redirect "https://support.domain.org/servicedesk/customer/portals" 

        } elseif { $low_path starts with "/agents" } then {

             Redirect the request...

            HTTP::redirect "https://support.domain.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa" 

        } else {

             Allow the request?

        }

    } else {

         Invalid HOST-Name requested

        HTTP::respond 404 content "Unrecognized request to [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" "Content-Type" "text/html" 

    }

}

    Note: The provided iRule uses a slightly more advanced syntax, by checking the requested Path/URI using lower case formating (more accurate).

    Cheers, Kai
