NimbostratusURL Redirect help needed in iRule with path forwarding
Hi,
I'm trying to do a redirect from a DNS name to a web URL. As an example I want to type in home.example.com to redirect to https://apps.google.com/user/hub using the F5 iRules.
I've tried the following but get a syntax error:
when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::host] eq “home.example.com”}{
Send 302 redirect to the new location
HTTP::redirect https://apps.google.com/user/hub } }

sberhorst_30626This is the snippet of code. Original message was butchered.
when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::host] eq “home.example.com”}{ HTTP::redirect https://apps.google.com/user/hub } }

Here is the error response:
01070151:3: Rule [/Common/Home_Redirect] error: /Common/Home_Redirect:2: error: [parse error: PARSE syntax 40 {syntax error in expression "[HTTP::host] eq “home.exmaple.com”": unexpected operator &}][{[HTTP::host] eq “home.example.com”}]

Edited the previous iRule:
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] eq "home.example.com" } { HTTP::redirect "https://apps.google.com/user/hub" } } 
jgranieriyou can use HTTP Local Policy to accomplish the same thing.
