redirecting hostname to proper URI path

I was asked to create a redirect whenever a client types this into their browser, omsqa.domain.com redirect it to http://omsqa.tbccorp.com/isccs/isccs/login.do. My irule seems to perform the redirect but the page doesn't load, I get error redirecting occur in firefox. If i use fiddle i can see it perform the 302 redirect. I'm not sure what else to look at. If I remove the irule from the VS, and go directly to the full URL (http://omsqa.tbccorp.com/isccs/isccs/login.do) it works fine. Please help

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {

 

"omsqa.tbccorp.com" - {

 

HTTP::redirect ";

 

}

 

}

 

}

    Hi there,

    try this instead:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/"}{
        HTTP::uri "/isccs/isccs/login.do"
    }
}

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "omsqa.tbccorp.com" && [HTTP::uri] eq "/"} { 
    HTTP::redirect "http://omsqa.tbccorp.com/isccs/isccs/login.do"
}
}

    as the previous user mentioned before, you don't need a redirect: the host is the same.

     

    HTTP::uri should do the trick....

      rewriting HTTP::uri is not the best solution, mostly when path folder is different.

       

      If server answers with relative path links in content, browser can request wrong URI next.

    AMG provided the best solution. I also recommend to use HTTP::path instead of HTTP::uri in condition and to redirect to relative URI / absolute path (beginning with /) instead of absolute URL:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "omsqa.tbccorp.com" && [HTTP::path] eq "/"} { 
        HTTP::redirect "/isccs/isccs/login.do"
    }
}
