redirect to new path

If you want to use a wildcard in your switch you'll need to add the

*

/

Something like

/site1/online/*

*/site1/online/*

If you want to issue a clientside redirect try this (I use HTTP::respond as I like to use 301, and also like to use 'noserver' to hid the Server:BigIP header).

HTTP_REQUEST { 
    Check the requested path with wildcard matching  
   switch -glob [HTTP::path] { 
      "site1/online/index.html"{ 
          301 Redirect 
         HTTP::respond 301 noserver Location "/online" 
         return
      } 
      "online/"{ 
         pool 1.1.1.1 
      } 
   }
} 

I think maybe you actually want to transparently rewrite and select pool based on incoming request rather than actually redirect (which sends a response to the client instructing it to re-request a new URL). Does this look like what you want (this assumes pl_pool has member 1.1.1.1:80 and pl_pool2 has member 2.2.2.2:80)?;-

HTTP_REQUEST { 
    Check the requested path   
   switch -glob [HTTP::path] { 
      "/site1/online/index.html"{ 
         HTTP::path "/online"
         pool pl_pool1 
      } 
      "/site1/online/authenticate.html"{ 
         HTTP::path "/online"
         pool pl_pool2 
      }       
   }
} 

Alternatively if you really do want to redirect this would be an option;

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    Check the requested path with wildcard matching
   switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
      "/site1/online*" {
         HTTP::respond 302 noserver Location "/online?default"
         return
      }
     "/site1/online/authenticate.html"
      {
          HTTP::respond 302 noserver Location "/online?authenticate"
            return    
      }
      "/online?default"{
          HTTP::uri [HTTP::path]
          pl_pool1
       }
      "/online?authenticate"{
          HTTP::uri [HTTP::path]
          pl_pool2
       }
    }
}

ïf i used https from the client and https to the server too. Some changes in the irule should i have?

Thanks for you help

looking at what you wanted to do, Redirect> https://abc.com/site1/online/index.html to this site > https://abc.com/online/index.html I would do that using this irule with an external data group and apply the irule to your VIP hosting abc.com

Create external data group name REDIR 1st create a text file on your workstation called REDIR and add this line to it "/site1/online/index.html" := "abc.com/online/index.html" save the file REDIR.txt From Local Traffic > iRules : Data Group List click Create Data Group name REDIR Type External File import your file set File Contents to String Key / Value Pair Separator := Data Group Name REDIR click on Import

Now build the irule which references the external data group iRule called REDIR

when HTTP_REQUEST {

apply the iRule to the VIP. You can add as many Redirects to the external file that you want. the file is stored in System > File Management : Data Group File List

Thanks for your response, how can i redirect to specific pool for example: site1/online/index.html redirect to pool 1.1.1.1 using path /online/index.html and if site1/online/authenticate.html redirect to pool 2.2.2.2 using path online/authenticate.html.

Best regards

Your original request was how to redirect clients from 1 site to another. This new description doesn't need a redirect what your describing is layer 7 load balancing based on the URI path. That's a single VIP that will inspect the URI and make a load balancing decision to determine which pool to send to. Is that what you need help with?

Yes, i need to balance based on Uri PATH and also change the URI:path before redirect to correct pool.

In that case, you could try something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
     Check the requested path with wildcard matching
    switch -glob [HTTP::path] {     
        "/site1/online/*"  {
             Trim the "/site1" from the front of the path
            HTTP::path [string range [HTTP::path] 6 end]

             Update the pool
            pool 192.168.111.90
        }
    }
}
