Redirect url to display blank page

You mean an actual web page that is empty?

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/foo" } {
        HTTP::respond 200 content ""
    }
}

Sure.

 

 

The first line is the event declaration. You want this code to fire when a client makes an HTTP request, so you'll wrap it in the HTTP_REQUEST event.

 

 

The next line is the conditional argument. What you're essentially saying is, if the lowercase version of the request URI (the part AFTER the host name) starts with "/foo" (an arbitrary example), perform the following process. The actual URI will be dependent on your environment (what you want to trigger on).

 

 

Finally, the HTTP::respond command allows you to preempt the server response, if there was one, and send your own response to the client instead. In this case we're going to send a 200 message (HTTP status code for "OK"), and some arbitrary content, in this case absolutely nothing "". You could literally send anything you wanted with this command - an HTML page, an image or file, JavaScript, css, anything.

 

 

Kevin, it turns out this Irule suits the best for the request I had:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {([HTTP::uri] eq "/") } { HTTP::respond 200 content "" }

 

}

 

I was able to apply this irule to the http vip and test it with now problem. Now how can I twik this irule to work on the https vips?

 

 

The implementation is exactly the same if you're terminating the client side SSL at the VIP (client SSL profile).
