Specific subdirectory redirect to the other URL

Hi all,

 

I am looking to create an iRule which would redirect users from [ https://www.abc.com/company1 ] to [https://www.xyz.com/company1].

 

But I don't want to redirect from [ https://www.abc.com/company2 ].

 

like this

 

https://www.abc.com/company1/... ⇒redirect⇒ https://www.xyz.com/company1/...

 

https://www.abc.com/company2/... ⇒doesn't redirect

 

https://www.abc.com/company3/... ⇒doesn't redirect

 

https://www.abc.com/... ⇒doesn't redirect

 

Currenty I have the F5 Virtual appliance LTM so I am wondering if this is something that the F5 can handle.

 

Thank you

    This is something that can be done with either an iRule or a Local Traffic Policy. Using URI::path you could extract the path component and make a 'starts_with' comparison, redirecting in just a subset of potential cases.
