Redirect Problem

I just want to do a basic redirection;

 

 

www.mydomain.com

 

 

www.mydomain.com/directory1/directory2

 

 

When I use the syntax below I get;

 

 

www.mydomain.com/www.mydomain.com/directory1/directory2

 

 

How Can I get rid of that initial uri??

 

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/" } {

 

HTTP::redirect "www.mydomain.com/directory1/directory2/"

 

}

 

}

    If you don't include the protocol in the redirect the browser assumes appends the new redirect value to the URI is just requested. If you add http:// or https:// to the redirect it should work fine:

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/" } {
      HTTP::redirect "http://www.mydomain.com/directory1/directory2/"
   }
}

    Great, I actually found some doc on this last night, i appreciate your quick response!

     

     

    Are there any specific books on iRules? Or am I just going to find TCL books? Either way, can you point me to some recommended literature?? Or is DevCentral as good as it gets right now??

     

     

    Thanks!

    That's good to hear.

     

     

    There aren't any books on iRules. You can get more information on iRules from a few resources:

     

     

    The iRule wiki on DC (Click here)

     

    The LTM configuration guides on AskF5 (Click here)

     

    The TCL manual for standard TCL commands/syntax (Click here)

     

    And of course the posts in this forum, the codeshare, blogs and guides on DC.
