Hi Rakesh,

if the iRule above does not work at all, then I would recommend to include some Debug-Log line to make sure the iRule gets executed...

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0.debug "Debug: iRule executed"
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "sfobjtest.govnet.nsw.gov.au" } {
        log local0.debug "Debug: [string tolower [HTTP::host]] is matching the pattern"
        HTTP::respond 301 Location "sfobjtest.govnet.nsw.gov.au:8443//documents"
    } else {
        log local0.debug "Debug: [string tolower [HTTP::host]] is not matching the pattern"
    }
}

Note: Keep in mind, that almost every configuration change requires you to close any existing TCP-session. So better close/open your browser between the individual tests to get sure...

Cheers, Kai
