Pool redirect for VIP on port 443

I am looking to create a iRule that allows https traffic to a particular virtual server to be redirected to specific pool based on the URI.

 

 

I know that the pool redirect works based on some tests; however, I am having issues because the port must be 443 and my http profile does not accept anything except port 80.

 

 

When I try to test the rule by connecting to the VIP, I do not even get to the iRule because of the profile.

 

 

I have been working on this for a week now and I have tried to avoid asking for help; however, I am stumped!

 

 

Please help?

 

 

Here are the rules I've tried...

 

 

RULE 1 (Being that it would not accept port 443, I thought that I could explicitly tell it to look for https traffic. This did not work.)

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {(( [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/nwpperf") and ([TCP::local_port] == 443)) } {

 

pool tam61fmtam-pool

 

} else {

 

pool fmtam_pool

 

}

 

}

 

 

RULE 2 (So, I got rid of the TCP::local_port and just tried to to do the pool redirect. That didn't work either because it never even hit the iRule. When I used port 80 as the listening port, it redirected; however, the backend nodes have SSL certificates and require https.)

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

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

 

pool tam61fmtam-pool

 

} else {

 

pool fmtam_pool

 

}

 

}

 

 

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

 

 

Thanks!
