Passthough path and query/parameters, but redirect URL without path or query/parameters.

Hello,

 

I am looking for some iRule help. I need to be able to passthrough a URL to backend servers that has any path or parameters (this might be default, not sure). For example, https://myexample.com/path/go would be get passed through to backend servers.

 

If the request comes in without a path/query/paramters, for example it will get redirected to a different url, for example https://redirecturl.com

 

Thanks!

    Try this (untested):

    when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
    set DEFAULT_POOL [LB::server pool]
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { ( [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "myexample.com")} {
        if { not ([HTTP::uri] eq "/") } {
            HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://redirecturl.com/"
        } else {
            pool $DEFAULT_POOL
        }
    }

}
