NimbostratusIssue with HTTP::URI with trailing /
First off I am an iRule newbie. I am having a bit of an issue with a trailing "/" in a redirect.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/abc/" }{
HTTP::respond 301 Location "">
}
if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/abc" }{
HTTP::respond 301 Location "">
}
This is only a portion of the full rule. The issue is that when entering http://www.thisplace.com/abc the redirect works. However when entering http://www.thisplace.com/abc/, the redirect does not work. There are several other statements in the rule that are working without the trailing "/".
Thanks in advance.

Change equals to starts_with .
cpmurphy-3_1754Thank you for your quick reply. However I am curious as to why "equals" does not work? Would use "equals" in conjunction with HTTP::path?
R_MarcFirst, a switch statement is probably a better route. They are, I'm told, much faster in iRules than ifs. I'm also not sure what the second part of that responder is about (the ">http...").
This would cover both of the above scenarios:
switch -glob [HTTP::uri] { "/abc*" { HTTP::respond 301 Location " } }Response:
GET /abc HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently Location: ">http://www.someplace.com/blah/blah/ Server: BigIP Connection: close Content-Length: 0 GET /abc/ HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently Location: ">http://www.someplace.com/blah/blah/ Server: BigIP Connection: close Content-Length: 0- nitass
