new HTTP page redirection request

Working of of Joe's example in another post.

Here is what I would probably do

when HTTP_REQUEST {  
    if { ([HTTP::host] eq "www.abc.com.au") && ([HTTP::uri] eq "/personalcredit") } 
       {HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/abconline/99.aspx"}
}

thanks,

Hi,

 

 

your given solution is not working for me... If you have any other solution then it will be too good. I need to sort out this issue ASAP so your quick help will be much more appreciated.

 

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

 

Have you try to do some troubleshooting to check what was the HTTP::uri value ?

 

 

If you want people to help you , some idea about what may be happening would be welcome like doing the following:

 

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

log local0. "uri is [HTTP::uri]"

 

log local0. "host is [HTTP::host]"

 

if { ([HTTP::host] eq "www.abc.com.au") && ([HTTP::uri] eq "/personalcredit") } {

 

log local0. "redirecting user..."

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/abconline/99.aspx"

 

}

 

}

 

 

And you can then give us the output of /var/log/ltm

 

 

 

May your issue be that you have additionnal stufd after /personalcredit ?

 

 

if yes, then try this:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { ([HTTP::host] eq "www.abc.com.au") && ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/personalcredit") } {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/abconline/99.aspx"

 

}

 

}

 

 

If this is not your issue, then show us some debugging information so that we can help you understand what is happening because what cmbhatt offered should work.

Hi ,

 

Thanks for your quick response... I have done whatever you have mentioned above but still does not seem to be working. I am not sure how to get log files and how to debug one irule. Your suggestion will be appreciated.

 

I would like to know that where would I apply this IRULE? Do I need to apply to Virtual Server or somewhere else ? I have got couple of virtual servers but I'm not sure where do I need to apply this rule?

 

 

I am very much new with this product and don't know much more about it....

 

 

HI,

 

 

I would also like to know whether request is hitting to our IRULE or not. I dont know whether we can check it or not...

 

Your help is more appreciated.

 

Ta,

 

The irule needs to be assocated to the VIP that is responsible for handling the www.abc.com.au traffic.

 

 

The log local0 arguement, depicted below, is how you output the variables and commands to a log file that you can view. It can tell which line it's being executed.

 

 

If you use the following code

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  log local0. "uri is [HTTP::uri]"
  log local0. "host is [HTTP::host]" 
   if { ([HTTP::host] eq "www.abc.com.au") && ([HTTP::uri] eq "/personalcredit") } {
    log local0. "redirecting user..."
    HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/abconline/99.aspx"
   }
}

 

 

 

To view the debug code, log into the bigip via ssh and then go to /var/log directory. Then type in "tail -f ltm" and then run your tests via browser and see what happens at the log. You should information such as "redirecting user..." or "hosts is www.abc.com.au".

 

 

 

 

HI,

 

I've already tried this rule too but it is not working either. I am wondering that where would I apply this IRULE. I am applying on VIRTUAL server and i hope it is correct...

 

Your suggestion will be appreciated...

 

You would apply this irule under virtual server >> Resources and select manage and add teh irule. Can you also tell us if you are getting ANY output from the ltm logs?

 

 

If you are just post them here.

 

 

thanks

Hi,

 

I'm still not sure how to check logs.... I have never worked on this product before so getting hard to understand it.

 

Ta,

 

Is there any other rule that I can try with ? If you know something , please let me know.

 

thanks,
