Nimbostratusyet another redirect question
so heres my question. i have a simple irule that will redirect to a new host/uri based on the incoming request. however what i'm discovering is that apparently its not as simple as i had originally thought. i dont seem to understand why the orignial URI still gets appended to the redirected uri..
when HTTP_REQUEST {
set dest https://some.host.com/singleuri
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]] {
"some.other.host.com/anotheruri/*" {
HTTP::respond 301 Location "$dest[HTTP::uri]"
}
}
}
this works, yet the new uri contains "/singleuri/anotheruri/".. what am I doing wrong?
omniplexYou are appending the previous URI which is contained in the [HTTP::uri] variable.
If you just want it to goto https://some.host.com/singleuri change your redirect line to "HTTP::response 301 Location "$dest"

You'd want something like this;when HTTP_REQUEST { switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]] { "https://some.host.com/singleuri*" { HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://some.other.host.com/anotheruri/" } } }
Michael_YatesHi Dave,
If you want to maintain any additional information in the [HTTP::uri] then you can just replace the host value and then perform a "string map" to replace the target values.
Also, do not include the URI::protocol in the switch comparison.when HTTP_REQUEST { switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]] { "some.host.com/singleuri*" { HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://some.other.host.com[string map {"/singleuri" "/anotheruri"} [HTTP::uri]]" } } }
Hope this helps.
