NimbostratusRedirect uri & port
I am trying to redirect a uri that has a designated port as part of the uri.
Example
We would like to have this uri redirected from http://app.company.com:443 to http://newapp.company.com
This would redirect the app.company.com:443 to newapp.company.com
I am using the following redirect irule
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::host] eq "app.company.com*"} {
HTTP::redirect "http://newapp.company.com"
}
}
It doesnt appear to be
redirecting as I expected. I'm new to iRules as well so I'm just looking for some guidance on this one.
- The_BhattmanI am assuming that the http://app.company.com:443 is going to a VIP listening on port 443, yes?
if so then your iRule on that vip would work (I would remove the "*" from "app.company.com")

owaters_69636Sorry for the late response....I have tried to use this iRule but it doesnt redirect app.company.com:443 to newapp.company.com. What I am trying to do is find an iRule that will take a http://app.company.com:443 and redirect it to http://newapp.company.com. F5 instructed that I do use the"*" from app.company.com
Any ideas?? I'm a Irule newbie so excuse me if I didnt disclose enough information here yet.- The_BhattmanThe following irule could work
when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::host] eq "app.company.com" } { http://redirect "http://newapp.company.com/" } }
This only works properly if you have a virtual server listening on 443 or ANY port and are terminating the SSL on the LTM. If you are using virtual server on 443 then I am assuming you have one listening on port 80 as well.
I hope this helps
