Hello GuYs, I am wondering if someone could help me out with HTTP page redirection rule... I have tried with couple of rules but none of them worked. See example below that how do I want to redirect web page... redirect from www.abc.com.au/presonalcredit to www.abc.com.au/abconline/99.aspx. If you could give me an idea that which rule needs to write to get page redirect working. Hope to hear soon. Ta,

Working of of Joe's example in another post. Here is what I would probably do when HTTP_REQUEST { if { ([HTTP::host] eq "www.abc.com.au") && ([HTTP::uri] eq "/personalcredit") } {HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/abconline/99.aspx"} } thanks, CB

Hi, your given solution is not working for me... If you have any other solution then it will be too good. I need to sort out this issue ASAP so your quick help will be much more appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, Have you try to do some troubleshooting to check what was the HTTP::uri value ? If you want people to help you , some idea about what may be happening would be welcome like doing the following: when HTTP_REQUEST { log local0. "uri is [HTTP::uri]" log local0. "host is [HTTP::host]" if { ([HTTP::host] eq "www.abc.com.au") && ([HTTP::uri] eq "/personalcredit") } { log local0. "redirecting user..." HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/abconline/99.aspx" } } And you can then give us the output of /var/log/ltm May your issue be that you have additionnal stufd after /personalcredit ? if yes, then try this: when HTTP_REQUEST { if { ([HTTP::host] eq "www.abc.com.au") && ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/personalcredit") } { HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/abconline/99.aspx" } } If this is not your issue, then show us some debugging information so that we can help you understand what is happening because what cmbhatt offered should work. HTH

Hi , Thanks for your quick response... I have done whatever you have mentioned above but still does not seem to be working. I am not sure how to get log files and how to debug one irule. Your suggestion will be appreciated. I would like to know that where would I apply this IRULE? Do I need to apply to Virtual Server or somewhere else ? I have got couple of virtual servers but I'm not sure where do I need to apply this rule? I am very much new with this product and don't know much more about it....

HI, I would also like to know whether request is hitting to our IRULE or not. I dont know whether we can check it or not... Your help is more appreciated. Ta,

If you do a tail -f /var/log/ltm. This command will continuesly look at the end of the log file. So when new entries happen you get to se the update in real time.

Hi Ravi,

After looking at your logs it appears that the information you initially provided isn't exactly matching to what the irule was written.

Is the goal to redirect http://www.payonce.com.au/personelcredit to http://www.oncecredit.com/OnceOnline/99.aspx?

In that case you will want to write the irule to the following:


when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0. "The host is http://[HTTP:host]"
    log local0. "The uri is [HTTP::uri]"
    if { ([HTTP::host] eq "www.payonce.com.au") && ([HTTP::uri] eq "/personalcredit") } {          
log local0. "redirecting user... to "               
HTTP::redirect "http://www.oncecredit.com/OnceOnline/99.aspx" }
}

If you want redirect

http://anything.com/personalcredit to http://www.oncecredit.com/OnceOnline/99.aspx


when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0. "The uri is [HTTP::uri]"
    if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/personalcredit" } {          
log local0. "redirecting user... to "               
HTTP::redirect "http://www.oncecredit.com/OnceOnline/99.aspx" }
}

If you want to redirect http://anything.com/personalcredit to http://anything.com/Onceonlone/99.aspx.


when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0. "The uri is [HTTP::uri]"
    if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/personalcredit" } {          
log local0. "redirecting user... to "               
HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/OnceOnline/99.aspx" }
}

Let's hope this helps.

Thanks CB

Hi Jessy,

That was pretty close. The event name is HTTP_REQUEST:


when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "mail.alumno.bbc.com" } {
      HTTP::redirect "http://www.outlook.com/alumno.bbc.com"
   }
}
