Return a 301 instead of 302

Hi Dave,

Here is an example using the switch command.

when HTTP_REQUEST{
  switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
   "www.*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://mydomain.org[HTTP::uri]" }
   "mydomain.com*"  { HTTP::respond 301 "http://mydomain2.org[HTTP::uri]" }
  }
 }

I hope this helps

Thanks Bhattman. When I try to add your text just as you have it I get the message below. Am I missing some syntax?

 

 

 

01070151:3: Rule [mydomain.org_301-redirect] error:

 

line 1: [wrong args] [when HTTP_REQUEST{]

 

line 2: [command is not valid in the current scope] [switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {

 

"www.*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://mydomain.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"mydomain.com*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://mydomain2.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

}]

 

line 2: [command is not valid in the current scope] [string tolower [HTTP::host]]

 

line 2: [command is not valid in the current scope] [HTTP::host]

 

line 6: [command is not valid in the current scope] [}]

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

Dave

BTW...

 

 

Have you looked at using something along the lines on this to look for 302 and then deal with it then?

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

if { [HTTP::status] contains "302"} {

 

...............

 

}

 

}

OK. I figured out the syntax; a missing space. But my rule doesn't work. It just returns a blank page. Sanitized rule below, so there may be some duplicates.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {

 

"www.*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"peoples.net*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"peoples.com*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"peoples.mobi*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"peoplesfor.org*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"peoplesfor.net*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"peoplesfor.com*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"speople.net*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"speople.org*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"speople.com*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"people.net*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"people.com*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"-people.org*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"-people.net*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"-people.com*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"-peoples.org*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"-peoples.net*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"-peoples.com*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

"people.org*" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }

 

}

 

}

Ryan,

 

 

How would I use that since my redirects are generating the 302?

 

 

Thanks

I am sorry - I think I misunderstood. I thought the issue was your web servers were sending 302's and you wanted to change them to 301's. Please disregard my comments.

NP. I appreciate the response.

 

But my rule doesn't work. It just returns a blank page.

 

 

 

have u ever tried curl command e.g. curl -i http://www.people.org/?

 

if so, what response did u get?

HTTP::respond will not automatically set the URL in the Location header like HTTP::redirect will. So you need to set the URL as the Location header value. Also, with switch you can use - as an action if it's the same action for multiple cases. Lastly, can you double check your * wildcards to make sure you're using it to match in the correct location. The HTTP::host value will only return www.example.com if the URL is http://www.example.com/some/path.html.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
      "www.*" -
      "peoples.net" -
      "peoples.com" -
      "peoples.mobi" -
      "peoplesfor.org" -
      "peoplesfor.net" -
      "peoplesfor.com" -
      "speople.net*" -
      "speople.org" -
      "speople.com" -
      "people.net" -
      "people.com" -
      "*-people.org" -
      "*-people.net" -
      "*-people.com" -
      "*-peoples.org" -
      "*-peoples.net" -
      "*-peoples.com" -
      "people.org" { HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://peoples.org[HTTP::uri]" }
   }
}

Aaron

Thanks Aaron. Do I need the wildcards at all since I'm matching the host name exactly?
