Redirects for old site - iRule Newbie needs help

Try it this way

  
 when HTTP_REQUEST {  
  if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "oldsite.com" } {  
   switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {  
     "/" {  
      log local0. "redirect on empty URI"  
      HTTP::redirect "http://newsite.org/scrubs/imagine "  
  }  
     "/itemnumber.html" {  
      log local0. "redirect on itemnumber"  
      HTTP::redirect "http://newsite.org/scrubs/imagine/itemnumber.aspx"  
                        }  
   }  
  }  
 }  
 

I hope this helps

Thanks CB. We have about 50+ item numbers to support. So "itemnumber".html can be 400x, 401x, and so forth. We want to redirect the to the corresponding "itemnumber".aspx if it exist in the request.

 

 

http://oldsite.com/itemnumber.html redirect to http://newsite.org/scrubs/imagine/sameitemnumber.aspx.

 

 

Requests for the root of the oldsite should go to the root of the new site.

 

 

http://oldsite.com/ redirect to http://newsite.org/scrubs/imagine

 

 

Sorry I was not clear on this. I appreciate it.

So what you are saying is you can have the following:

 

 

 

http://oldsite.com/400x.html to http://newsite.org/scrubs/imagine/400x.aspx

Yes, where the itemnumber can be 401x.html, 402x.html and so on.

How about this

  
  when HTTP_REQUEST {    
    if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "oldsite.com" } {    
     switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {    
       "/" {    
        log local0. "redirect on empty URI"    
        HTTP::redirect "http://newsite.org/scrubs/imagine "    
    }    
       default {    
       set base [URI::basename [HTTP::uri]]  
       log local0. "This is the base variable $base"  
       set sbase [split $base .]  
       log local0. "this is the base split by the . : $sbase"  
       set itemn [lindex $sbase 0]  
        log local0. "redirect on itemnumber without the extension: $itemn"    
        HTTP::redirect "http://newsite.org/scrubs/imagine/$itemn.aspx"    
                          }    
     }    
    }    
   }    
  

This is also making an assumption that you will either have no URI or a uri with a valid . at the end of the URI.

CB

Hot dang. Worked like a charm. I TRUELY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!

You can try combining the elements

For example

set itemn [lindex [split [URI::basename [HTTP::uri]] . ] 0 ]

This would eliminate 3 "set" statements

Example:

  
   when HTTP_REQUEST {      
      if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "oldsite.com" } {      
       switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {      
         "/" {      
          log local0. "redirect on empty URI"      
          HTTP::redirect "http://newsite.org/scrubs/imagine "      
      }      
         default {      
          set itemn [lindex [split [URI::basename [HTTP::uri]] . ] 0 ]   
          log local0. "redirect on itemnumber without the extension: $itemn"      
          HTTP::redirect "http://newsite.org/scrubs/imagine/$itemn.aspx"      
                    }      
       }      
      }      
  }

You could also use URI::query [HTTP::uri] "parameter_name" (Click here) to retrieve the value of a query string parameter named parameter_name.
