Redirect to another URL after timeout detected

Is there a way for a BIG-IP to display a message such as “This site has moved, please note the new URL." and then redirect to the new page in 10 seconds.

Not tested so far. Can you write iRule something like this. Try and let us know if any question

when HTTP_REQUEST {
        set expires "10000"
        HTTP::respond 200 content "Sorry, this page is not currently available."; Max-Age=$expires"
		HTTP::redirect "https://www.xyz.com"
    }

    Hi Samir,

     

    I tried with this IRule but it

    not working for me, I can see the message but after that redirection is not

    working.

     

    One of our URL is getting retired and getting replaced with new one. So when any user trying to access old url, it should display a message for 5 seconds to users that its retired and redirect to new URL.

     

    Can you please help on this.
