Moving IIS hosting.asp redirects to iRules

Depending on how many redirects there are you could use either a case select or a datagroup.

With the datagroup, create one with a name of the site and the value as the URi you want to redirect to then use an iRule similar to below.

when HTTP_REQUEST { HTTP::redirect [class lookup [HTTP::host] datagroup1] }

If you only have a couple to do you may want to use a case select switch statement.

switch [URI::query [HTTP::host]] {
   option1 { set selected_node uri1 }
   option2  { set selected_node uri2 }
   }
    HTTP::redirect selected_node

    or of course you could have the redirect in the switch statement, it depends if you want to use the URI later on for logging etc.. or to make it easier to read.

Thanks for the quick response. I have a bunch of these redirect, 20 or more so I'll give the datagroup a try.

e.g.

 config

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  tmsh list ltm data-group internal redirect_class
ltm data-group internal redirect_class {
    records {
        url1.company.com/ {
            data /redirect.htm
        }
        url2.company.com/ {
            data http://anyname1.company.com/services/directory
        }
        url3.company.com/ {
            data https://anyplace2.company.compro/profile/Unsolicited/webpage.htm
        }
    }
    type string
}
[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  tmsh list ltm rule qux
ltm rule qux {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  set hostpath [string tolower [HTTP::host][HTTP::path]]
  if { [class match -- $hostpath starts_with redirect_class] } {
    HTTP::redirect [class match -value -- $hostpath starts_with redirect_class]
  }
}
}

 test

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  curl -Ik https://url1.company.com
HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Location: /redirect.htm
Server: BigIP
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 0

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  curl -Ik https://url2.company.com
HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Location: http://anyname1.company.com/services/directory
Server: BigIP
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 0

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  curl -Ik https://url3.company.com
HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Location: https://anyplace2.company.compro/profile/Unsolicited/webpage.htm
Server: BigIP
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 0

Thanks to both of you. This works like a charm. I hadn't used string datagroups only IP lists and I'm sold. Much appreciated.

nitass,

In your irule above (qux) is there a way to force https ?

Just make sure that the URI's are HTTPS failing that apply an iRule containing the following to the HTTP version of your VIP

HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
