Nimbostratus
Nimbostratusredirection loop
Hi all,
Anybody could help me on this scenario
A customer wants to redirect their website with 301 response with the following scenarios.
1) customer.co.nz -> http://www.customer.co.nz/Pages/default.aspx
2) www.customer.co.nz -> http://www.customer.co.nz/Pages/default.aspx
I was able to sort the first one with this irule:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [string tolower [HTTP::]] equals "customer.co.nz" } {
HTTP::respond 301 location http://www.customer.co.nz/Pages/Default.aspx
}
}
But on the second one when I apply the rule below it says on my browser "redirection loop"
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [string tolower [HTTP::]] equals "www.customer.co.nz" } {
HTTP::respond 301 location http://www.customer.co.nz/Pages/default.aspx"
}
}
I'm not sure what's wrong with the second rule, they are separate irule and both mounted on one virtual server.
Thanks.

Gbps_31870Hi,
Try This iRule, it should works with both scenarios.
when HTTP_REQUEST
if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] contains "customer.co.nz") and ([HTTP::path] equals "/")} {
HTTP::respond 301 location http://www.customer.co.nz/Pages/default.aspx
}
or instead of HTTP::respond 301 .... you can type HTTP::redirect "http://www.customer.co.nz/Pages/default.aspx" but this redirection will be 302 response instead.

Abdul- f5_user_7996Hi Abdul,
The rule doesn't work it's giving me the error below:
01070151:3: Rule [Trial_irule] error: line 1: [wrong args] [when HTTP_REQUEST ] line 2: [command is not valid in the current scope] [if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] contains "customer.co.nz") and ([HTTP::path] equals "/")} { HTTP::respond 301 location http://www.customer.co.nz/Pages/default.aspx }] - Gbps_31870Hi F5_user,
Sorry for that, just add one open bracket { after HTTP_REQUEST, and a close bracket } at the end of the iRule. - avi123_184259
Hi Abdul,
I tried same, but still getting into redirect loop. when HTTP_REQUEST { if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] contains "www.test.com") and ([HTTP::path] equals "/")} { HTTP::respond 301 location "http://www.test.com/en-us" } }

Hi avi123,
in
path ishttp://www.test.com/en-us/
is a fragment identifier and is not part of pathen-usare you sure the fragment is sent to the F5? look this thread for more info.

Hi Stanislas,
Yeah, you are right, en-us is not being sent to F5, which is causing the loop.
Thank you so much for pointing to that.
