Irule strange problem

I have the following Irule on my LTM F5:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

set subpath [HTTP::uri]

 

if {[HTTP::host] equals "aaa.co.uk"} { HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.aaa.co.uk$subpath" }

 

elseif {[HTTP::host] contains "www.aaa.co.uk"} {use pool pl_it_www-aaa-co-uk_p80 }

 

elseif {[HTTP::host] contains "www.aaa.com"} {use pool pl_it_www-aaa-com_p80 }

 

elseif {[HTTP::host] equals "bbb.com"} { HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.bbb.com$subpath" }

 

elseif {[HTTP::host] equals "www.bbb.com" and [HTTP::uri] contains "/qqq"} { HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.bbb.com" }

 

elseif {[HTTP::host] equals "www.bbb.com" and [HTTP::uri] contains "/default.html"} { HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.bbb.com" }

 

elseif {[HTTP::host] contains "www.bbb.com"} {use pool pl_it_www-bbb-com_p80 }

 

}

 

 

The rule works fine but only if there is a default pool associated in virtual server configuration. If I change this Default Pool to None from the drop down, the Irule stops working. Any obvious reasons why it happens?

    Can you try this? It's explicitly setting the pool or redirect for each case. 

    when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
    Save the VS default pool name
   set default_pool [LB::server pool]
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
      "aaa.co.uk" { HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.aaa.co.uk[HTTP::path]" }
      "www.aaa.co.uk" { pool pl_it_www-aaa-co-uk_p80 }
      "www.aaa.com" { pool pl_it_www-aaa-com_p80 }
      "bbb.com" { HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.bbb.com[HTTP::path]" }
      "www.bbb.com" {
         switch -glob [HTTP::path] {
            "*/qqq*" { HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.bbb.com" }
            "*/default.html" { HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.bbb.com" }
            default { pool pl_it_www-bbb-com_p80 }
         }
      }
      default {
         pool $default_pool
      }
   }
}

    I have tried this and the script is not working either. NOnetheless I think I found the root of the problem.

     

    When I did debugging:

     

    ------

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

     

    log local0. " URI: [HTTP::uri], Host: [HTTP::host] ,Path: [HTTP::path]"

     

    ------

     

    Sample log shows:

     

    URI: http://www.bbb.com/aaaa, Host: ,Path: http://www.bbb.com/aaaa

     

    ---

     

    HTTP::host for some reason is not set, which is most probably the reason none of the if statements were matched.Any idea why HTTP::host is empty? How can I obtain the host which should be www.bbb.com?
