    There are multiple ways to achieve it but would suggest you to add two more conditions in existing iRule.

    when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { ([HTTP::uri] contains "en/good/morning.aspx") || ([HTTP::uri] contains "en/good/evening.aspx") || ([HTTP::uri] contains "en/good/night.aspx") } {
        HTTP::redirect "https://abcdef.com"
    } 
}

    Cheers...

Just my two cents on this one: HTTP::redirect always sends an HTTP 302 (Temporary Redirect) status code. If you want to send a different status code (like HTTP 301 (Permanent Redirect)) should use HTTP::respond instead.

 

If you use a 302 is used instead of a 301, search engines might continue to index the old URL, and disregard the new one as a duplicate.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your input.

If I follow your piece of advice then the iRule will be similar to bellow for any future iRule that I create?

 

  1. when HTTP_REQUEST {
  2. if { ([HTTP::uri] contains "en/good/morning.aspx") || ([HTTP::uri] contains "en/good/evening.aspx") || ([HTTP::uri] contains "en/good/night.aspx") } {
  3. HTTP::respond "https://abcdef.com"
  4. }
  5. }
