Nimbostratusredirecting hostname to proper URI path
I was asked to create a redirect whenever a client types this into their browser, omsqa.domain.com redirect it to http://omsqa.tbccorp.com/isccs/isccs/login.do. My irule seems to perform the redirect but the page doesn't load, I get error redirecting occur in firefox. If i use fiddle i can see it perform the 302 redirect. I'm not sure what else to look at. If I remove the irule from the VS, and go directly to the full URL (http://omsqa.tbccorp.com/isccs/isccs/login.do) it works fine. Please help
when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
"omsqa.tbccorp.com" - {
HTTP::redirect ";
}
}
}
Robell_Pontes_7Hi there,
try this instead:
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/"}{ HTTP::uri "/isccs/isccs/login.do" } }

Your iRule causes a redirection loop. The "Host" part of "http://omsqa.tbccorp.com/isccs/isccs/login.do"; is the same "omsqa.tbccorp.com" so your iRule will keep redirecting users to the same URL on each request. You need to add an extra check on HTTP::uri eq "/"

when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "omsqa.tbccorp.com" && [HTTP::uri] eq "/"} { HTTP::redirect "http://omsqa.tbccorp.com/isccs/isccs/login.do" } }- Robell_Pontes_7
as the previous user mentioned before, you don't need a redirect: the host is the same.
HTTP::uri should do the trick....
Stanislas_Piro2rewriting HTTP::uri is not the best solution, mostly when path folder is different.
If server answers with relative path links in content, browser can request wrong URI next.

AMG provided the best solution. I also recommend to use HTTP::path instead of HTTP::uri in condition and to redirect to relative URI / absolute path (beginning with /) instead of absolute URL:
when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "omsqa.tbccorp.com" && [HTTP::path] eq "/"} { HTTP::redirect "/isccs/isccs/login.do" } }
