iRule to Redirect url to anther url

Hi Dears,

requesting your kind support for below scenario.

 

  • I have two VS with the same IP but each one in different ports (1st one in port 80, 2nd one in port 8080)
  • I have two pools in ports 80 & 8080 associated to the above VS.
  • when the users type the full URL everything working perfectly.

the issue is that:

I have two URLs opening the same application 1st one is http://kmt and the full URL is http://kmt/livetest/livetest.exe?func=llworkspace.

so I need to the users only to write first url http://kmt, then they can redirected to the full url.

I tried below iRule but not opening .

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { [HTTP::host] eq "kmt" } {

HTTP::redirect "http://kmt/livetest/livetest.exe?func=llworkspace"

}

}

may it's very simple but am new in F5 field.

thanks in advance and appreciate your urgent support.

    Hi

    Add in some URI logic otherwise you're going to get a redirect loop. So something like...

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ([HTTP::host] eq "kmt") && ([HTTP::uri] eq "/")} {
HTTP::redirect "http://kmt/livetest/livetest.exe?func=llworkspace"
}
}

      Hi iaine,

      thanks for your quick support, I applied for the VS but still not redirected.

      I wanna ask here, this iRule should be applied in which VS as I have two VS one in port 80 and second in port 8080

    Hi,

    this the correct iRule, it's working fine now.

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

    if { [HTTP::host] contains "kmt" and [HTTP::path] eq "/" } {

    HTTP::redirect "http://kmt/livetest/livetest.exe?func=llworkspace""

    }

    }
