Port and URL redirection with SSL Client Side offloading

Here is a statement that incorporates some of the things you mention. I hope it helps. If you require further help you need to state your requirements clearly.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::respond 302 Location "http://[HTTP::host]:82/[HTTP::path]/xyz"
}

When you say "I want to add port 82 to the standard rediection scripts aren't working. Would also like to hiding the port after the redirection takes place". If you issue an HTTP redirect then the redirected location WILL be present in the client browser - that cannot be hidden.

I keep getting a connection reset error when I run this rule. Do need to add the real host url into the staement as well or is the syntax as stated above?

Did you have VS running on 82/tcp? Did you add apropriate rule to the packet filter?

I do it will work if I turn off the rule and manually enter the full url

The statement is syntactically correct, however you need to ensure that it is the last statement executed in an iRule (either by placing it at the bottom or by putting "return" after it), or else you will get a RST and a TCL error logged in /var/log/ltm.

Whether or not it does what you actually want is another matter, as I didn't really understand what you actually wanted :-)

i think you do not need slash (/) after port number (82).

e.g.

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm virtual bar
ltm virtual bar {
    destination 172.28.24.10:80
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    profiles {
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        myrule
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    vs-index 2
}
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm rule myrule
ltm rule myrule {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  HTTP::respond 302 Location "http://[HTTP::host]:82[HTTP::path]/xyz"
}
}

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  curl -I http://172.28.24.10/something
HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Location: http://172.28.24.10:82/something/xyz

Totally right - extraneous /. Thanks Nitass.
