Rewrite URL

Hi Javier,

Here is an iRule you can use to send a 301 redirect to the same host and URI with www. prepended:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    Check if Host header value has at least one alpha character and doesn't already start with www.
   if {[string match {[a-zA-Z]} [HTTP::host]] and not ([string tolower [HTTP::host]] starts_with "www."}{

       Send a 301 redirect to the same host and URI with www. prepended
      HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
   }
}

If you are using this on an HTTPS VS and you don't have a cert valid for both example.com and www.example.com, the client will get a mismatched cert warning before the iRule triggers.

You didn't specify the Protocol, so here is an example of an iRule that you could use on an HTTP Virtual Server to redirect to HTTPS and add a WWW if needed:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if {[HTTP::host] starts_with "www."} {
      HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
   } else {
      HTTP::redirect "https://www.[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
   }
}

Hoolio wins the race again... ;)

 

 

Both fine examples.
