Hi,

your irule is not working for 2 reasons:

  • is not sent to the server
  • HTTP::host does not contain URI... in the request "" :

The good syntax may have been (concatenate both variables):

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]] equals "www.sitea.com//hello" } { 
        HTTP::redirect "https://siteb.com/" 
    }
}

But this is not possible... is a Fragment identifier managed locally by the browser, never sent to the server...
