Hi, little change of the irule with:

  • it's better to convert HTTP:host to lowercase before string evaluation

.

HTTP_REQUEST {

  switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
    "mysite.mynet.com" {
      HTTP::respond 302 location "https://mynew.mynet.com[HTTP::uri]"
    }
    "mysite2.mynet.com" {
      HTTP::respond 302 location "https://mynew2.mynet.com[HTTP::uri]"
    } default {
      return 
       apply no redirect
    }
  }

}

What was wrong in the first iRule:

  • if you evaluate a lowercase string with uppercase string... it will never match 🙂
  • the hostname never start with "\"
