Simple I rule redirect

Hello,

I have created a vip that used http redirect to https. Right now I am using the default redirect irule

when HTTP_REQUEST {

HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]

}

so basically when the customer types in the following

http://abc.com/wfc/logon it automatically redirects to

https://abc.com/wfc/logon

Fine no issues there.

The customer would like though to be also to type in the following and have it redirect like this.

http://abc/wfc/logon

and have that redirect to

https://abc.com/wfc/logon.

I tried doing it on the port 80 part of the vip with

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { [HTTP::host] eq “abc” } {

HTTP::redirect “https://abc.com/wfc/logon”

}

}

That though did not work.

So do I put it on the 443 side on the vip. (I used the templates to set this up) or is my syntax screwed up here.

Thanks

Shawn

I believe that SHOULD work. You may want to throw in some logging to see what the BIG-IPs sees as the [HTTP::host] value, but otherwise:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
     if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "abc" } {
          HTTP::redirect "https://abc.com[HTTP::uri]"
     } else {
          HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]
     }
}

worked like a charm. Many Thanks !!!
