Url redirection

The iRule posted by  should work, but you can clean it up a bit. Here we do the following:- More efficient string comparison using starts_with rather than contains. Also, more secure as a URL may be odd and repeat that string as part of URI path (unlikely though).

- Removed unnecessary comparison for host header. Likely there is no virtual hosting, so all (and only) example.com traffic hitting the virtual server. We only need it for return if path doesn't match our pattern.

- Support both https and http protocols. In case you perform or what to add SSL termination or what not.

- You could also get fancier and support multiple paths you want to check via data groups, or even use a variable for the comparison string portion

So here we have it.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/apps/test" }{
return
} else {
if { [TCP::local_port] == 443 }{
HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]"
} else {
HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]"
}
}
}
