Multiple Host going to one vip

Question

Hello,  I am working with a client that has many URL that they want to go to one. I have tried the following and it did not work. Can some one please point me in the right direction on this?&nbsp;
&nbsp;This should work with or without "www" in front of the URL and get all of the .com, .net &amp; .org 
&nbsp; if it is one of these URL then redirect it to the https://www.google.com&nbsp;
&nbsp;when HTTP_REQUEST {
&nbsp;if {[HTTP::host] contains "google" or "yahoo" or "ask" or "msn"} {
&nbsp;HTTP::redirect https://www.google.com
&nbsp;}
&nbsp;}&nbsp;
&nbsp;Thank you for your help.

You might want to try using the switch statement (only because it's cleaner to look at, atleast in my mind 😄
when HTTP_REQUEST {
     switch -glob [HTTP::host] {
       "*google*" { HTTP::redirect https://www.google.com }
       "*ask*" { HTTP::redirect https://www.google.com }
       "*msn*" { HTTP::redirect https://www.google.com }
     }
}

Thank you, This worked great! Now that I have this working I am having a problem with all of these certs going to one. I do have a Redirect/Rewrite HTTP Profile set up on this VIP, But the client still gets Security Alert that “The Name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name on the site” Do you have any thoughts on how I can fix this problem? And again thank you for your help.

Hi,&nbsp;
&nbsp;the common name included in the certificate must match the host that the browser has in the url.&nbsp;
&nbsp;is this what you have ? &nbsp;
&nbsp;HTH

I understand what you are say here, But I am useign this iRUle to rediest 10+ URL's to one, and yes they are all https (443). So I need to find out how not get the Security pop ups and still be redirected. Thanks for your help.

hi,&nbsp;
&nbsp;if all your hosts looks like game.someulr.com, test.someurl.com, fun.someurl.com&nbsp;
&nbsp;you should try to have a look at wildcard certificates&nbsp;
&nbsp;wildcard certificates look like this: *.someurl.com. this way you won't have your popup when you are redirected.&nbsp;
&nbsp;if all your redirects are completely different url then it won't be possible.&nbsp;
&nbsp;iRules won't be able to help for this
