Redirect HTTPS URL

Example, https://www.test1.com gets redirected to https://www.test2.comdoesn't HTTP::redirect work?

 

 

e.g.

 

HTTP::redirect "https://www.test2.com"

 

Hi,

 

 

The redirect would be for an HTTPS URL to another HTTPS url (typo in my first description)

 

It is not possible to apply an irule for a virtual server listening on port 443 as the F5 complains that it needs an HTTP profile when applying the iRule containing HTTP::redirect "https://www.test2.com.

 

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Frederik

 

e.g.

[root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual bar443 list
virtual bar443 {
   destination 172.28.19.252:443
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
   profiles {
      clientssl {
         clientside
      }
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::host] eq "www.test1.com" and [HTTP::uri] eq "/" } {
    HTTP::redirect "https://www.test2.com"
  }
}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  curl -Ik https://www.test1.com
HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Location: https://www.test2.com
Server: BigIP
Connection: Keep-Alive

Nitass is showing you that in order to process HTTP (OSI layer 7) application traffic, you must be able to see it. You cannot see the traffic if you cannot decrypt it, so a client SSL profile applied to the VIP will allow you to terminate the SSL and see and react to the payload.

Thanks nitass !

 

Is seems I needed to apply the

 

profiles {

 

clientssl {

 

clientside

 

}

 

http {}

 

 

part to make this work.

 

Have a nice day !
