Root Domain Redirect Retaining Query String

Expected behavior:

 

 

www.mysite.com/?s_cid=ThisIsATest --> www.mysite.com/guest/en/home.shtml?s_cid=ThisIsATest

what about this one?

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" } {
              HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/guest/en/home.shtml?[HTTP::query]" }
    }
 }

i a little bit modified rule according to sol9952. pls feel free to revise.

Thank you, this works great. I am going to slightly modify with the following for a 301 redirect. As well, thank you for the information on the limitation of the URI:path prefix in SOL9952. I believe for our application of this iRule, I don't foresee this as a problem, but will test to be sure.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [URI::path [HTTP::path]] eq "/" and [HTTP::query] ne ""} {

 

HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "http://[HTTP::host]/guest/en/home.shtml?[HTTP::query]"

 

}

 

}

u're welcome. :-)

Update; with further testing, we found that there were JavaScript errors generated by new queries being added to the URL when navigating in the site. We've further revised the iRule and are testing again to verify conflicts.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::path] eq "/" and [HTTP::query] ne ""} {

 

HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "http://[HTTP::host]/guest/en/home.shtml?[HTTP::query]"

 

}

 

}
