Removing port from a redirect

Hi all,     One of our web developers has asked me if we could strip off a port number in a redirect they are doing. I thought the following would do this, but it doesn't appear to work.   ...
application delivery

Nice find. CR98328 was an issue in 9.4.x and fixed in 10.0.0 per SOL8676. Which LTM version are you testing this on?

 

 

SOL8676: The HTTP::header values iRule command removes colon characters from header values

 

https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/8000/600/sol8676.html

 

 

If that is the problem, you could try removing the colons in the iRule as well. It wouldn't be pretty but it should work.

 

 

[HTTP::header Location] contains "www.acme.com:10040" -> [HTTP::header Location] contains "www.acme.com10040"

 

...

 

string map -nocase {www.acme.com:10400 www.acme.com} -> string map -nocase {www.acme.com10400 www.acme.com}
