"String based" Redirect Question -

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.
