Redirect iRule for http TimeStamp service

Hi fellows, I have spent couple of days struggling to redirect Time-Stamp service to different port. Basically it's a normal http connection based service.

I Wrote an iRule: 

when HTTP_REQUEST 
{
if {([HTTP::path] contains "tsa") and ([HTTP::host] contains "8080") }{
HTTP::redirect "http://10.132.24.96:8040[HTTP::uri]"
}
}

It works in a browser but not as a TimeStamp service...

Funny thing is that when I'm accesing it with addres http://10.132.24.96:8040[HTTP::uri] it works fine, but not when I use http://10.132.24.96:8080[HTTP::uri] - the redirected one is not working and I've no idea why...

I Hope I can count on Your advise on this topic. Up-front thanks to anyone who can help.

    Ok, so I've changed redirect to HTTP::respond 307 Location as redirect can't pass POST.

     

    Everything works fine now :)

     

    Thanks for advice on -L switch in curl @Jad.

    Your iRule looks good. Maybe you can make it a bit more specific by matching on ":8080" instead of just "8080".

     

    1.Check to see if there are any errors in the logs.

     

    2.Can you run a curl command to see what kind of redirect or response you are getting ? This will help identify the issue.

    Based on the CURL output (Location Header), the redirect seems to be working.

    Hi,

    if you want to check port, you can use this irule :

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {([HTTP::path] contains "tsa") and ([TCP::local_port] equals "8080") }{
        HTTP::redirect "http://10.132.24.96:8040[HTTP::uri]"
    }
}
