Issue with http redirection in version 11.5.1(previously working with http class profiles in version 11.3)

Hi Naumin Dave,

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
     test condition of matching hostname and client was not already redirected (default path)
    if { ([string tolower [HTTP::host]] ends_with "abc.com") && ([HTTP::uri] eq "/") } { 
         redirect client into https and required path
        HTTP::redirect https://abc.com/xyz/tmz/qpd.apex
        return
    } else {
         forward client request for redirected traffic on non default path
        pool Application_server 
    }
} 

Thanks, Stephan

Hi Stephan,

So i tried to insert two statements in one if condition.

1. For Redirection which redirects url.
2. Send redirected url to pool.

But it works only for 1'st statement(Redirection works) but is not forwarding traffic to Pool.

Naumin Dave,

Do you just require a rewrite? If so I've tailored Stephen's irule:

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
     test condition of matching hostname and client was not already redirected (default path)
    if { ([string tolower [HTTP::host]] ends_with "abc.com") && ([HTTP::uri] eq "/") } { 
         rewrite URI to append /xyz/tmz/qpd.apex
        HTTP::uri "/xyz/tmz/qpd.apex"
        pool Application_server 
    }
}

Hope this helps,

Do you see any errors in /var/log/ltm?

tail -f /var/log/ltm

Please be aware, that changes to your iRule will apply to new connections only.

curl -I -H "Host: abc.com" http:///xyz/tmz/qpd.apex

Hi Stephan,

If i will try to access using virtual ip, i am able to access page (after applying your irule) but page without any background images. And in tail -f /var/log/ltm, i am not able to see any error.

Hi Stephan, Sorry small correction. I am able to access page (after applying Nathan's irule). Also http class configuration is as follow:

Hi,

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { ! ([string tolower [HTTP::uri] starts_with /snortreport-1.3.4/) } {
     HTTP::redirect "https://172.27.95.203/snortreport-1.3.4/"
  }
}

As your 2nd screenshot does not contain the full redirection path it might be necessary to modify the path in the iRule above.

You can add a log statement to validate incoming requests or use a browser plugin (maybe your browser cache just needs to be cleared?):

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  log local0. "request received <[HTTP::method]> <[HTTP::uri]> <[HTTP::version]>"
  if { ! ([string tolower [HTTP::uri] starts_with /snortreport-1.3.4/) } {
     HTTP::redirect "https://172.27.95.203/snortreport-1.3.4/"
  }
}

With the following command you can track new log messages:

tail -f /var/log/ltm  

PS: The iRule above requires to have a default pool assigned to the virtual server in the resource section.
