Redirect rewrite Help.

Hi Ajay,

You can determine whether rewrite redirects is enabled on a specific HTTP profile using PROFILE::http redirect_rewrite (Click here), but you cannot modify the configuration using this command. I think you would need to manually implement the rewriting of redirects using an iRule and then not do it for specific IP addresses. There is a Codeshare example from Deb which you could modify to do this:

Rewrite HTTP Redirect Hostname

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/RewriteHTTPRedirectHostname.html

You'd want to change "myold.hostname.com mynew.hostname.com" to "http:// https://" and then add a check of the client IP address using IP::addr (Click here) or matchclass (Click here) in HTTP_RESPONSE:

 
  when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
  
     Check if server response is a redirect and client IP is not 1.1.1.1 
    if { [HTTP::header is_redirect] and not ([IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 1.1.1.1])} { 
  
        Log original and updated values 
       log local0. "Original Location header value: [HTTP::header value Location],\ 
          updated: [string map -nocase {http:// https://} [HTTP::header value Location]]" 
  
        Do the update, replacing "http://" with "https://" 
       HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase "http:// https://" [HTTP::header value Location]] 
    } 
 }
