Redirect to another url and pool

Question

Hi All,&nbsp;
Got a requirement from my user who is adding a new application, but the old app is still tied to some other services, so they don't want to get rid of that app, rather redirect to that application but pull up their new servers pool. I have tried to get this going , the redirect to the 302 works, but it keeps pulling up the old pool. Here is an example.&nbsp;
if { ($requestURI starts-with "/blue/ui/")} {
   HTTP::respond 302 location ";&nbsp;
   TCP::close
}
elseif {($requestURI equals "/")} {
 pool ext_newpool
]
}&nbsp;
As I said, the redirect to 302 location works fine, but I can't seem to get the new pool to load during that redirect, the 302 location pool loads.&nbsp;
Thanks&nbsp;
Jess&nbsp;

I don’t understand the elseif condition! &nbsp;
What behavior is expected if uri is not / and doesn’t start with /blue/ui/&nbsp;

I had set this up as two irule, the first irule is for the redirect to new URL alone and the second irule is to check the new URL header/ URI string match and send it to the new pool. &nbsp;

Thanks -- can you send me an example of that irule.&nbsp;

Here is the first one&nbsp;
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::host] eq "header.org" &amp;&amp; [HTTP::uri] eq "/uri" } {
        HTTP::redirect "http://header2.org/newuri/";
    }
}
Second one:&nbsp;
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { ([HTTP::host] eq "header2.org") &amp;&amp; ( [HTTP::path] starts_with "/newuri") } {
pool new-pool
}
                }&nbsp;

@Rajesh : This is the worst advice you can do.&nbsp;
when working with multiple irules, all irules are evaluated.&nbsp;
so even if the first irule matches, the second can be evaluated and may cause TCL error and TCP reset.&nbsp;
if irule 1 make a redirect for URI /uri and irule 2 add a HTTP header for all URI, there is a conflict which cause TCP reset (because HTTP insert command is not allowed if there is a redirect before).&nbsp;
