Prepend www, redirect to https, and preserve full URL

Hello All,

 

I would like to use an iRule that does the following type of redirect/rewrite:

 

http://testsite.com/about -> https://www.testsite.com/about

 

Ideally, if other valid urls like the below are entered, I do not want it to prepend the www:

 

http://blog.testsite.com -> https://blog.testsite.com

 

Searching around, I've found iRules that do most of what I want, but not the whole thing.

 

Regards,

 

Jason

    Hi Jason,

    Give this a try.

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string to lower [HTTP::host]] eq "testsite.com" } {
    HTTP::redirect https://www.[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri] 
}
    else {HTTP::redirect https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]}
}

    If you are running at least 11.4, you can also achieve this using a Local Traffic Policy

    It might look like this:

    ltm policy www-redirect-append {
    controls { forwarding }
    requires { http }
    rules {
        rule-testsite.com {
            actions {
                0 {
                    http-reply
                    redirect
                    location "https://www.[getfield [HTTP::host] : 1][HTTP::uri]"
                }
            }
            conditions {
                0 {
                    http-host
                    values { testsite.com }
                }
            }
            ordinal 1
        }
        rule-default {
            actions {
                0 {
                    http-reply
                    redirect
                    location "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] : 1][HTTP::uri]"
                }
            }
            ordinal 2
        }
    }
    strategy first-match
}
