NimbostratusHi,
I am looking to create an iRule which would redirect users from: Http://example.com or https://example.com to https://example.com/example1/example.htm.
Currenty I have the F5 Virtual appliance 11.4 LTM so I am wondering if this is something that the F5 can handle.
Thanks
NimbostratusWell,
the short answer: yes, the F5 can handle it.
the longer answer: Do you want to just redirect any requests from http[s]://example.com/ to https://example.com/example1/example.htm? Or just specific ones?
If you want all requests redirected: Usually you have a virtual-server for http and another one for https.
For the virtual-server for http you could add a new irule containing:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::redirect https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]
}
for the virtual-server for https, you could add something like that:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/" } {
HTTP::redirect "/example1/example.htm"
}
}
(Untested, but i guess you get the point)

NimbostratusHi,
Just to avoid too many redirects you could apply this iRule to your http virtual servers.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::redirect "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]/welcome/welcome.htm"
}
I think you'll have a problem with the second iRule because the redirect statement is not complete, you have to define the full URL.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/" } {
HTTP::redirect "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]/example1/example.htm"
}
}
