Jul 26, 2011Return a 301 instead of 302
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...

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.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..
