URL Redirection

Hi Venkat,

You can use HTTP::redirect command (Click here) to redirect the client. You would want to check if the request was to the root document (/) or fslink before redirecting:

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Check if request is to / or /fslink 
    switch [string tolower [HTTP::path]] { 
  
       "/" - 
       "/fslink" { 
  
           Redirect client 
          HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/search/home.asp" 
       } 
    } 
 } 
 

If you want the client to not see the change in the path, you could rewrite the URI using HTTP::path (Click here).

Hi Aaron,

 

 

Thanks for your reply. i made little bit of modifications to the iRules can you tell me if this is correct.

 

 

1. When somebody connects to www.xyz.com, he gets redirected to www.xyz.com/index.html

 

 

2. when somebody connects to www.xyz.com/fslink, he gets redirected to www.xyz.com/search/home.asp

 

 

3. when somebody connects to www.xyz.com/doc, he gets redirected to www.xyz.com/doc.html

 

 

Can you tell me if the below irules are correct. Thanks for your help.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

 

Check if request is to / or /fslink

 

switch [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {

 

 

"/" {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/index.html"

 

}

 

"/doc" {

 

HTTP:: redirect "http://www.xyz.com/doc.html"

 

}

 

"/fslink" {

 

 

Redirect client

 

HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/search/home.asp"

 

}

That looks good.
