Issues with Redirecting http request

Hi All,

I am having an issue with one of our configured irules. We're trying to redirect traffic sent to a specific url and it keeps failing.

when HTTP_REQUEST { Check if there aren't any active members in the default pool if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] < 1 } { set uri [HTTP::uri] switch -glob $uri { "/ftcdealerhome" - "/manual" { } }

log local0. "URI: [HTTP::uri]" 
 }

switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { "/ftcdealerhome*" { HTTP::redirect http://[HTTP::host]:/newhistoryserver[HTTP::uri]&project=dealer&resource=portal }

   Traffic that reaching /ftcdealerhome should redirect to /newhistoryserver and another uri after. Any idea what it could be?

    Based on the following irule (with some fixed closed braces and formatting):

    when HTTP_REQUEST {  
   Check if there aren't any active members in the default pool   
  if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] < 1 } {   
    set uri [HTTP::uri]   
    switch -glob $uri {   
      "/ftcdealerhome" -   
      "/manual" {   
      }   
    }  
    log local0. "URI: [HTTP::uri]"  
 }  
  switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {   
    "/ftcdealerhome*" {   
        HTTP::redirect http://[HTTP::host]:/newhistoryserver[HTTP::uri]&project=dealer&resource=portal 
    }  
  }  
}

    This should work as follows:

     curl -v http://172.16.0.53/ftcdealerhome/test
*   Trying 172.16.0.53...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to 172.16.0.53 (172.16.0.53) port 80 (0)
> GET /ftcdealerhome/test HTTP/1.1
> Host: 172.16.0.53
> User-Agent: curl/7.60.0
> Accept: */*
>

    Note: your redirect switch statement is out of the "active pool member" if statement.
