redirect 443 to other port

Taking your example I suppose you can do it the following manner

  when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]:1234"
  }

However, w/o really checking what is being request, ALL http requests will be redirected this way.

the port you want to use shouldn't be an issue

 

 

if you need to redirect on port 1234 you just need to append ":1234" in your http::redirect response

 

 

and if you try to do web browsing on specific port like www.f5.com:1234, then inside your client's request the hostname will be www.F5.com:1234. It will include the port in the HOST header. So you need to remove it when you're being redirect from such a site.

hi nmenant,

 

 

thanks for explanation. it's working now.

BTW, port 1234 is not https. 1234 is registered by IANA by

search-agent 1234/tcp Infoseek Search Agent

 

search-agent 1234/udp Infoseek Search Agent

 

 

It COULD be used as an HTTPS port but your server would have to be configured for this.

 

 

Normal ssl port chosen when entering https == 443.

 

 

Enjoy.
