I need my redirects to return a 301 instead if a 302. The Web team is unable to track the rdirected requests because they return a 302. How can I change the rule below to return a 301? when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] starts_with "www."} { HTTP::redirect ] } elseif { [HTTP::host] starts_with "mydomain.com"} { HTTP::redirect ] There are more possible redirects in the irule which I've omitted, but they all use the same format. Thanks...

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 Bhattman

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

Return a 301 instead of 302

I don't think hostnames starting with a hyphen are valid. For example, I assumed for "-peoples.com" that you'd want to match anything ending with -peoples, so I had it as "*-peoples.com".

If you don't need a wildcard for one entry, you can just remove the asterisk. If you don't need wildcards for any hostname you can remove all of the asterisks and the -glob flag from the switch statement.

My rule is below. I've changed the host names, but it accurately reflects the rule. It is still only returning a blank page. What am I missing? Thanks.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

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

"www." -

"synergycitizens.net" -

"synergycitizens.com" -

"synergycitizens.mobi" -

"synergycitizens.net" -

"citizensforsynergy.org" -

"citizensforsynergy.net" -

"citizensforsynergy.com" -

"synergyscitizen.org" -

"synergyscitizen.com" -

"synergycitizen.net" -

"synergycitizen.com" -

"synergy-citizen.org" -

"synergy-citizen.net" -

"synergy-citizen.com" -

"synergy-citizens.org" -

"synergy-citizens.net" -

"synergy-citizens.com" -

"synergycitizen.org" { HTTP::respond 301 "http://synergycitizens.org[HTTP::uri]" }

}

I think it would be best if u clarify exactly what you're looking to accomplish here. If you're looking to catch every host that starts with www you will need the 'www.*' in hoolios example..

If your web instances wont accept the base domain, ie yourdomain.com without the A record in front of it, it won't work.. maybe spell out, im looking to catch A and 301 redirect to B..

You could always test what host headers your web instances will accept by using your host file to test..
