L7 redirect to pool based on requested folder

DM,

The full url is broken out as follows:

http://mydomain.com/folder_name

[HTTP::host] => mydomain.com

[HTTP::uri] => /folder_name

So you could use the HTTP::uri with a simple string comparison to do what you want.

For example:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/folder_name" } {
    pool target_pool_name
  }
}

This will take any incoming request where the uri starts the string "/folder_name" and forward it to "target_pool_name". Replace that to what your pool name is and you'll be in business.

The only thing that I don't quite understand from your post is this:

In this case anything going to http://mydomain.com is already a working virtual server.

Does this mean you don't have a virtual server setup for the HTTPS requests? If not, then there is no magical way in an iRule to configure a virtual to listen for 443 requests without creating one for that purpose then you could assign this iRule to that virtual.
