NimbostratusRewrite - is this efficient?
I'd like to catch both www.olddomain.com and olddomain .com, and rewrite to newdomain.com while keeping the URI present. This should serve as a wildcard catch-all to cover with and without the www.
www.olddomain.com/path/here.aspx to newdomain.com/path/here.aspx
This is what I came up with, simple enough?
iRule to intercept olddomain.com and www.olddomain .com
Rewrites domain name only, appends URI
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::host] contains "olddomain" } {
HTTP::redirect "http://newdomain.com[HTTP::uri]"
}
}

Joe_PipitoneInteresting....I will see how this one works - Thank you very much for your help. Is using an httpclass going to be more efficient than the if statement above? I'll let you know how it worksEDIT: Works great! However I have another iRule that matches a custom URI and redirects only if client traffic goes to:
http://newdomain.com/productinfo and http://newdomain.com/productinfo/
I wonder if this will trigger and log the error "too many redirects"
I will experiment.
- nitassIs using an httpclass going to be more efficient than the if statement above?it is just my thought.
anyway, there is past discussion topic about this.
