url control based on requests/path

Hi,

 

 

Need some help on irules please.

 

 

We have irules defined on the F5 where the string is matched and request sent to a pool

 

 

"mywebsite.com" { pool website1 }

 

 

What I am trying to achieve is

 

 

anyone going to https://thiswebsite.com gets sent to https://thiswebsite.com/webdesktop

 

 

but if anyone types in https://thiswebsite.com/webconsole/app this gets passed along as is to the pool and everything else goes to https://thiswebsite.com/webdesktop

 

 

Regards

 

 

Zabeel.

    Hi Zabeel,

    I can't see how rewriting ever URI except /webconsole/app to /webdesktop would work, but here's what should do that: 

    
...
"mywebsite.com" { 
   pool website1
   switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
      "/webconsole/app*" {
          do nothing
      }
      default {
          Rewrite URI to /webdesktop
         HTTP::uri "/webdesktop"
      }
   }
}
