Redirect Client based on datagroup and mask URI

I have a request from the business to redirect clients to different uri based on if their ip matches a datagroup and if not then it will not redirect or rewrite the uri.

 

Here is what I have so far but I cannot get it to work properly unless I do the redirect. The one that rewrites the uri does not bring up the full page.

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {([HTTP::host] equals "site.mike.net") and ([HTTP::uri] equals "/")} { if {[ class match [IP::client_addr] equals "Datagroup_S"]} { Site does not load fully with uri rewrite HTTP::uri "/Site1/SE.aspx"

 

} elseif {[ class match [IP::client_addr] equals "Datagroup_M"]} {

 

Site loads properly but new uri is exposed

HTTP::redirect "/Site1/default.aspx" } else { HTTP::uri "/default.aspx" } } }

    1. The redirect has a location of /default.aspx. I'm not sure if this is just a Proof of Concept, but generally you'd want to just redirect to /.
    2. Are there any dependencies in the .NET-code (or HTML-code) that might get confused if the level of the containing folder is different? If it's in the HTML you would see 404s (or if .NET still has the default configuration, 302s followed by 200s).

    i think path in subsequent request (e.g. image, script, etc) will not be correct since you only rewrite default page uri.

     

    tcpdump on bigip or http analyzer tool (e.g. httpfox) may be helpful.

    I have got it to work but not with rewriting the URI. It only works when redirecting.

    Which version of BIG-IP are you running?
