Page cannot be displayed on redirect

help!

 

 

We have a very simple redirect

 

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://www.somehost.com/somedir"

 

}

 

 

The virtual server here does not have a pool associated with it. IT is just a redirect. It is on it's own IP address. There is nothing special about this at all!

 

 

It worked perfectly for me and most users. Other users are getting an "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I am being told if they hit refresh at that point, then the page loads.

 

 

It sounds to me like it is some kind of redirect that IE thinks is going in an infinite loop or something.

 

 

http://somehost.com/somedir is a redirect but it's done within the code. Any ideas??

 

 

So to reiterate, you go to www.somedomain.com and it redirects you to somehost.com/somedir which redirects you to somehow.com/some_dynamic_page

 

 

This is all Non-ssl regular http.

    Hi PJ,

     

     

    If www.somehost.com resolves to a different IP than the VS this iRule is on and that IP doesn't redirect back to the original VS, I don't see how you could be getting a loop.

     

     

    Can you reproduce the issue and capture a tcpdump to see exactly what's happening? Or can you install a browser plugin like Fiddler for IE?
