working http redirect rule, needed to be modifiled for https use

Hello DevGurus,

 

 

i am far from an iRule expert, but have a rather urgent need (by 11am GMT 15/2 - tomorrow!) to get one of our existing HTTP redirect iRules, modified and working for the HTTPS protocol.

 

 

The working (HTTP) one is listed below....

 

 

When i try to apply this to a HTTPS VIP (with some obvious modifications e changing http:// to https://, it first (understandably) complains that the HTTP profile must be first set to either "HTTP" or "FAST HTTP" in order to recognise the "HTTP_REQUEST" event mentioned in the iRule.

 

 

OK, so rather counter intuitively i do this and set the HTTP profile = HTTP on a HTTPS VIP. Now the VIP breaks.

 

 

im clearly out of my depth here so anyone willing to help by rewriting the iRule, telling me what events to use, and/or teling me what (if any) profiles need to be set, it would be most apprecieated.

 

 

many thanks

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { ([HTTP::host] starts_with "client") and ([HTTP::uri] equals "/") } {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/ext/myportal/client"

 

} elseif { [HTTP::host] starts_with "alumni" and [HTTP::uri] equals "/"} {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/auth/myportal/alumni"

 

} elseif { [HTTP::host] starts_with "author" and [HTTP::uri] equals "/"} {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/auth/myportal/author"

 

}

 

return
