Redirect iRule 4.2

If you are performing a match against the URI as in the sample you provided, you would only want to specify the path and/or object name, not the protocol or host.

 

 

[protocol://subdomain.domain.tld/path/to/object.ext]

 

 

Like this:

 

 

if (http_uri matches_regex "/manager/protected") {

 

...

 

}

 

 

Not:

 

 

if (http_uri matches_regex "http://subdomain.domain.tld/manager/protected") {

 

...

 

}

 

 

However, you don't need to use matches_regex unless you need to use a regular expression for the comparison. I would imagine, using starts_with or contains should work fine with less overhead.

 

 

 

Are you still seeing the looping? If so, make sure you are using this general flow:

 

 

proxy [external IP address]:443 -> VIP [127.x.y.z]:80 -> pool

 

 

VIP: [external IP address]:80 -> rule to redirect to https

 

 

Beyond this, I would recommend working with Support, as the iRule looks fine.
