"String based" Redirect Question -

Hi Folks (i'm still new to iRules). Looking for verification to see if I'm on the right track with this iRule below (think I'm close).

 

 

I want uri's containing the text "/ABCHome.aspx?_act=ShowMap" to use the normal port-80 pool. Conversely, I'd like the absence of that string to do a redirect to https. Would you be kind enough to please verify if this iRule looks to be in order ? I'd greatly appreciate it - thank you very much - Howard P.

 

 

==============================================================

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/ABCHome.aspx?_act=ShowMap" } {

 

pool HTTP_pool

 

} else {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://%5bHTTP::host%5d%5bHTTP::uri%5d"

 

}

    Howard,

    you've posted to a wrong forum (iRules -> v4.x instead of v9.x).

    Your rule is almost correct. You are just missing closing right brace for the "when .." clause. I'm assuming that those HTML escapes (%5b, %5d) in the HTTP::redirect command are actually left and righ bracket in your configuration and were just munged while posting to the forum. The correct syntax is:

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/ABCHome.aspx?_act=ShowMap" } {
      pool HTTP_pool
   } else {
     HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
   }
}

    If you need further help, please post to the iRules -> v9.x forum.

    I would like to do almost the same thing. I would like to redirect several areas of a page based on URI to https while leaving the rest of the pages which do not require ssl as http. I estimate that my web developers will have about 6 URI's which will require http to https redirection. How can I accomplish this?

     

     

    thanks
