return and HTTP::redirect usage

The HTTP::redirect command immediately sends the redirect response to the client. You can't set a pool after issuing this command. You are sending the client back through your loadbalancer on a new request.

 

 

Also, if $uri = [HTTP:uri], then you will be in a redirect loop since you are not altering the client request when you redirect them. If $uri != [HTTP::uri], then you need an "elseif" clause that catches the new request and uses pool cjj1.

 

 

So, like this:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { $uri starts_with "/help/" } {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"

 

}

 

elseif { some new condition that matches your redirected request } {

 

pool cjj1

 

}

 

else {

 

pool cjj2

 

}

 

}

 

 

I haven't used "return" so I won't advise on its use.
