Trying if/elseif irule...

Hi all,

 

 

Faced with what I think is some interaction between separate irules, I am trying to see if useing if/elseif would help.

 

 

I have an old domain that I want to redirect to my new domain, preserving the uri, and then for requests to the root folder, I have sub-folder I want to redirect to. It does not seem to work for me though.

 

 

Based on what I could learn (copy) from the forums, it looks like this.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "myoriginal.ca" && [HTTP::uri] equals {/}} {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://mystore.net/ca/catalog/index.aspx"

 

} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "www.myoriginals.ca" && [HTTP::uri] equals {/}} {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://mystore.net/ca/catalog/index.aspx"

 

} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "myoriginals.ca" } {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://mystore.net[HTTP::uri]"

 

} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "www.myoriginals.ca" } {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://mystore.net[HTTP::uri]"

 

} }

 

 

I tried just using the "endswith" wording for specifying the host name, but that has not worked for me in the past either.

 

 

I'd appreciate any input, thanks!

    Try this and see if it works out for you: 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
"myoriginal.ca" -
"www.myoriginals.ca" { 
if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } { HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://mystore.net/ca/catalog/index.aspx" }
}
"myoriginals.ca" -
"www.myoriginals.ca" {
if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } { HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://mystore.net[HTTP::uri]" }
}
}
}

    Made the HTTP::redirect into a HTTP::respond because an HTTP::redirect is a 302 (Temporary). With HTTP::respond you can specify the HTTP::status to a 301 (Permanent)

    The "myoriginal.ca" - tells it to follow the same action as the one below it (you can keep on doing this if you have more that you want to follow the same action.
