Mobile redirect with forced SSL

Hi Guys

 

I am in the same boat, and have been trying to do the cookie detection with no success.

 

My scenario is as follows:

 

I have two virtual servers

 

blah.com and mobile.blah.com

 

I can deploy the below irule on the blah.com vs and get only the agents I want to be redirected to the mobile site.

 

On the mobile virtual server I am using persistence to drop a cookie called blah-mobilesite.

 

On the mobile site developers have just put a link back to the main blah.com site.

 

Kinda hard to trigger off.

 

So i am figuring that if a client has been to the mobile site and picked up the blah-mobilesite cookie and then gone to the main site it is because they have been sent their by the link.

 

Here is the rule I am working with atm.

 

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

Check if the full site cookie preference has already been set

 

if {[HTTP::cookie value "blah-mobilesite"] eq "*"}{

 

 

Exit this event in this iRule to avoid a possible redirect to the mobile site

 

return

 

}

 

... rest of the iRule logic to check for mobile user-agents

 

and redirect them to the mobile site

 

 

switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]] {

 

"*blackberry*" -

 

"*firefox*" -

 

"*iphone*" -

 

"*android*" {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://mobile.blah.com/"

 

return

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

I have checked and the client does receive the blah-mobilesite cookie when they visit the mobile site.

 

I just can't seem to make the irule detect that they have it.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I think I am clearly missing something here.

 

 

btw I have just included firefox to make testing easier.
