URI redirection

Hi all,

 

 

 

I have a requirement to redirect the URI which is not used in our application. We get lot of 404 errors in our apache logs as this URI is bookmarked by the users.

 

 

Actual application URL:https://uat-app.xx.com/ep/faces/index.jspx

 

Old application URL:https://uat-app.xx.com/km/faces/index.jspx

 

 

 

If a user access the URL https://uat-app.xx.com/km/faces/index.jspx or URI /km it should redirect to https://uat-app.xx.com/ep/faces/index.jspx. i am putting the irule which i am going to implement. Please let me know if that will work or not.

 

 

 

 

 

if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/km" }{

 

HTTP::redirect https://uat-app.xx.com/ep/faces/index.jspx

 

}

    i think making it more specific might be better. anyway, it is not a big deal. 

    if {[HTTP::uri] eq "/km/faces/index.jspx" }{
   HTTP::redirect https://uat-app.xx.com/ep/faces/index.jspx
}

    what will happen if a user access the URL https://uat-app.xx.com/km/ will that redirect to the actual application pageno. in that case, you have to use your original irule.

    You may want to use a 301 (permanent redirect) rather than a 302 (temporary redirect).

     

     

    HTTP::redirect results in a 302. If you want a 301 you'll need to use:

     

     

     

    HTTP:: respond 302 Location http://destination
