remove port number and redirect to https

I am trying to remove a port number and redirect to https:

 

Current Url: http://affiliates.abc.com:1003/affiliateimages/picture.gif

 

I need it to redirect to https://affilaites.abc.com/affiliateimages/picture.gif (picture.gif is a changing variable)

 

I setup a vs for vs_affiliate_redirect_1003 assigned to port 1003;

 

However, I can't get the irule to work.(I am sure I am not setting it up right)

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] eq "affiliate.abc.com:1003"} {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://affiliate.abc.com"

 

}

 

}

    Hi,

    Since you have a VS for port 1003 created I am assuming you have one set up for 443 so apply the following on vs_affiliate_redirect_1003 

      
 when HTTP_REQUEST {  
    if {[HTTP::host] eq "affiliate.abc.com" {  
      HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"  
    }  
 }

    Basically it will redirect to vs_affiliate_443 w/o the port information.

    I hope this helps

    Is there any hosts and/or URIs you want to serve on the port 1003 VS? If not, you could redirect every request to a hardcoded hostname and the original URI: 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Redirect client to hardcoded host and preserve the original URI 
    HTTP::redirect "https://affiliate.abc.com[HTTP::uri]" 
 }

    Or if you only wanted to redirect requests where the host header value contains any port, you could use something like this: 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Check if Host contains a colon 
    if {[HTTP::host] contains ":"}{ 
        Redirect client to hardcoded host and preserve the original URI 
       HTTP::redirect "https://affiliate.abc.com[HTTP::uri]" 
    } 
 }

    Or if you want to redirect the client to the requested host without the port, you could use: 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Check if Host contains a colon 
    if {[HTTP::host] contains ":"}{ 
        Redirect client to requested host minus the port and preserve the original URI 
       HTTP::redirect "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]" 
    } 
 }

    Hopefully that gives you a few ideas.
