redirect and loop, please help

The redirect is using the same host that the if condition is looking for. Are you trying to match for an empty URI? If so, try something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { ([ string length [HTTP::uri] ] <= 1) } {
    if { [HTTP::host] equals "www.pepito.com"} {
      HTTP::redirect "http://www.pepito.com/maintenance/index.html"
    }
  }
}

NOTE: Not Tested!

Thank citizen, but I'd like that when I access to www.pepito.com, it is redirected to www.pepito.com/maintenance/index.html. I don`t know how to do that. For example, I tried these:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::path] equals "www.pepito.com"} {

 

set [HTTP::uri] "/maintenance/index.html"

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"

 

}

 

}

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::host] equals "www.pepito.com" and [HTTP::uri] equals ""} {

 

set [HTTP::uri] "/maintenance/index.html"

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::host] equals "www.pepito.com" and [HTTP::uri] equals ""} {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/maintenance/index.html"

 

}

 

}

 

 

In these cases, I stayed in www.pepito.com and I wasn´t redirected to www.pepito.com/maintenance/index.html.

Thanks

My previous post should function the same as your 2 attempt.

The value of HTTP::uri will never by empty. It will at least always contain the beginning "/" character. So your conditions of the URI equalling "" will never pass.

Another option would be the following (if you want all requests to go the maintenance page).

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { ([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "www.pepito.com") and
       ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] ne "/maintenance/index.html") } {
    HTTP::redirect "http://www.pepito.com/maintenance/index.html"
  }
}

This will redirect all requests to the www.pepito.com domain to the maintenance page except for ones already going to the maintenance page (thus avoiding the infinite loop).

I threw in some "string tolowers" so that it would match mixed case requests as well.

Citizens example will redirect either "http://www.pepito.com" or "http://www.pepito.com/" while mine will redirect all requests. Pick your choice...

Thank you very much. It works.

 

But, could you tell me why this one doesn't work?:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::path] equals "www.pepito.com"} {

 

set [HTTP::uri] "/maintenance/index.html"

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"

 

}

 

}

 

 

Thanks a lot.

 

 

By including the brackets on the HTTP::uri, you are setting a variable name to the value of HTTP::uri. For example, if your URI is only "/", then the equivalent would be

 

 

set / "/maintenance/index.html"

 

 

Which may not throw an error when updated but probably will error out when evaluated.

 

 

It would be better written:

 

 

HTTP::uri "/maintenance/index.html"
