question on iRule

[HTTP::uri] starts with "/" ... if you are adding "/" after host, remove it.

 

ex: http://xyz.com[HTTP::uri]

But I dont have a / after the host. here is the redirect I'm using:

 

 

HTTP::redirect ]

 

 

Hi s3s1277,

If you want to see what Sashi is talking about add the following to your iRule. You are adding in the "/" in some part of the iRule that is deplayed. The [HTTP::uri] value starts with and includes the "/" (see the log example below).

Apr 2 15:31:32 local/tmm1 info tmm1[4831]: Rule Z.iRule.Development : Matched and redireting to http://xxxxxx/string1234

Apr 2 15:31:32 local/tmm1 info tmm1[4831]: Rule Z.iRule.Development : HTTP::host Value: website.com

Apr 2 15:31:32 local/tmm1 info tmm1[4831]: Rule Z.iRule.Development : HTTP::uri Value: /string1234

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/string1234" } {
log local0. "Matched and redireting to http://xxxxxx[HTTP::uri]"
log local0. "HTTP::host Value:  [HTTP::host]"
log local0. "HTTP::uri Value:  [HTTP::uri]"
HTTP::redirect "http://xxxxxx[HTTP::uri]"
}
}

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I was declaring a variable at the top, for the host (without a /). It somehow appends extra /. Without declaring a variable, if I add the host explicitly in the redirect rule, it is not appending the extra /. Like this..

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

set vip2 "hostname"

 

if { [HTTP::uri] contains "string1234" } {

 

HTTP::redirect http://$vip2[HTTP::uri]

 

}

 

}
