URL rewrite plus

URL's take the form of:

 

scheme://host/uri

 

 

For this URL: http://www.mysite.com/index.htm

 

 

[HTTP::host] will return "www.mysite.com"

 

and

 

[HTTP::uri] will return "/index.htm"

 

 

If you just want to change the Host header to www.mysite.com and explicitly include the page name in the URI, you can use this code:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if {[string tolower [HTTP::host] equals "mysite.com" } {
    HTTP::header replace Host "www.mysite.com"
    HTTP::uri "/index.htm"
  }
}

HTH

 

/deb

 

Actually, this makes more sense for the URI replacement:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if {[string tolower [HTTP::host] equals "mysite.com" } {
    HTTP::header replace Host "www.mysite.com"
  } 
  if {[string length [HTTP::uri]] <= 1 } {
    HTTP::uri "/index.htm"
  } 
}

I think he may actually want a redirect, so the users browser actually get's updated to include the www.

I am stumbling with the same issue. I need to add "www" only if the person did not enter it as the host.

I am starting with the following iRule.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {
      HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host]/login.do
} else {
HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]
} 
}

I am using the above rule as a generic redirect across 20 or so domain names. I only need to place the www in front if the HTTP::host only contains a root domain name.

For example I need the following to occur:

http://domain.com --> https://www.domain.com

http://host1.domain.com --> https://host1.domain.com

http://host5.site1.domain.com --> https://host5.site1.domain.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got it to work using the following iRule:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
set sHost "[getfield [string tolower [HTTP::host]] "." 3]"
if { [HTTP::host] starts_with "www" }{
HTTP::redirect https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]
} elseif {[string length $sHost] == 0 }{
HTTP::redirect https://www.[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]
} else {
HTTP::redirect https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]
}
}
