Redirecting HTTPS traffic to HTTP

Hi maynard -

For the iRules Editor question, you should see if your question has already been addressed in that forum or post a new one if not: Click here

As for your iRule, you can use a couple of class lists to clean this up quite a bit (I changed the order of a few things, so you'll want to review for accuracy):

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::header "User-Agent"] contains "maynard" } {
     let test traffic in always
    pool RD
  } elseif { [HTTP::header "host"] starts_with "physicianreports.com" } {
     send permanent redirect to FQDN for this site only
    HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "http://www.physicianreports.com[HTTP::uri]"
  } elseif { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals $::rejectAddrs] } {
     discard all requests originating from the addresses in the specified list
    discard
  } elseif { [HTTP::header "User-Agent"] contains $::bot_poolAgents) || \
   ([IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals $::bot_poolAddrs)}{
     send all bots on the list to the bot pool
    pool bot_pool
  } elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "ppgreports" } {
     send specific URIs to the appropriate pool
    pool ppgreports
  } elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/images" } {
     send specific URIs to the appropriate pool
    pool Media
  } elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains $::ConsumerURIs } {
     send URIs in the list to the Consumer pool
    pool Consumer
  } else {
    pool http_cluster1
  }
}

The rule will need the following 4 classes defined:

class bot_poolAgents {
   type string
  "ScanAlert"
  "Slurp"
  "GoogleBot"
  "msnbot"
  "Becomebot"
  "Exabot"
  "psbot"

  "Girafabot"
  "NaverBot"
  "Jetbot"
  "WISEnutbot"

  "NLCrawler"
  "ZiggsBot"
  "ConveraCrawler"
  "NimbleCrawler"
  "FAST-Webcrawler"
  "MSIECrawler"
  "ichiro"

  "accoona"
  "TurnitinBot"
  "genieBot"
  "majestic12"
  "sp.ask.com"
  "Fetch API Request"
  "Ask Jeeves/Teoma"
  "Healthbot"
  "TencentTraveler"
  "aipbot"
  "OpenWebSpider"

}

class bot_poolAddrs {
   type address
  network 66.249.64.0/20
  network 64.233.178.0/23
  network 64.41.168.240/28
  host 72.14.228.89

  network 209.67.114.16/26
  host 69.20.123.42
  host 196.201.83.98
  host 38.119.107.78
}

class rejectAddrs {
   type address
  network 207.154.31.5/20
  host 213.255.196.85
}

class ConsumerURIs {  
   type string
  "/ajax"
  "www.physicianreports.com"
  "/health-management-tools"
  "/local-doctors-directory"
  "/doctors-directory"
  "dsp_ad_block.cfm"
  "consumer"
  "directory_search"
  "/directory"
}
