matchclass, code okay, and would you do this differently?

Okay so I'm looking to redirect requests to mydomain.com and http://www.mydomain.com/ to https://www.mydomain.com/secure, if no matches load balance to the pool specified in the VS.

 

 

Is this code okay and or would you guys/gals do this any differently?

 

 


 when HTTP_REQUEST {
     set host [matchclass [string tolower [HTTP::host]] $::myclass " "]
 Check if there was a match
if {$host ne ""}{   
     HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.mydomain.com/secure"
} else {
       pool "mysecurepool_443"
  }
    }

    hmm not with all browsers... need the stringtolower to work..

    heh needed to look a litle closer... supposed to be string tolower not one word I believe

    Good point! 
     when HTTP_REQUEST {
     if { [matchclass [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq $::myclass] } {
          HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.mydomain/secure" 
} else { pool "mysecurepooll_443" }      
    }
    That compiles.

    To make the iRule CMP compatible for 9.4.4+ you can remove the $:: prefix on the datagroup name: 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [matchclass [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq myclass] } {
      HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.mydomain/secure"
   } else {
      pool "mysecurepool_443"
   }
}
