Odd WWW Redirect and Uppercase issue..

Hello all, I've got an odd issue with one redirect not working and it seems because the URI has uppercase in it.I have a couple of redirect in place which is below but the problem is if I go to http://www.mydomain.com/Portal/OrgList.aspx it won't redirect however if I use http://www.mydomain.com/portal/orglist.aspx it will.

This is www redirect rule:


when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch "[string tolower [HTTP::host]]" {www.mydomain.com {
HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://mydomain.com[HTTP::uri]"
}
}
}

This is the specific section of URI redirect rule:


elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/portal/orglist.aspx" } {
     HTTP::respond 301 Location http://mydomain.com/government/pages/agency.aspx
 }

I even tried changing the "starts_with" to Equals but didn't change anything, and I attempted to remove the [string tolower... section but I get an error indictating that is not a vaild rule.

Any suggestions or thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Bob

    Hi Bob,

    From what you are describing it should work properly. Thing that I can notice from what you have provided is that your "www.mydomain.com" is not enclosed in "".

    Try something like this: 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
"www.mydomain.com" { 
if { [string tolower  [HTTP::uri]] ends_with "/portal/orglist.aspx" } {
log local0. "Qualified Match: [HTTP::uri]"
HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.google.com"
}
}
}
}

    These were my logged results:

    Jun 7 13:29:06 local/tmm info tmm[30731]: Rule Z.iRule.Development : Qualified Match: /Portal/ORGList.aspx

    Hope this helps.

    Your snippet contains "elseif". Is it possible that there's another condition that is being met earlier in the code?
