Redirecting a Website request with multiple embedded URL strings

Question

I need to redirect the following example to a new website URL. https://test.test.com/MDR/LauncherInterface.aspx?host=https://test.test.com/MDR&numid=11111&numid=1111&username=1111&userpass=1111

I need to redirect both URL statements to https://test2.test.com. Using iRules in my F5 load balancer I am able to redirect the first statement but I am unable to figure out how to redirect the second as well.

Answer 1

something like this should help:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::host] eq "test.test.com" } {
    HTTP::redirect https://test2.test.com[HTTP::uri]
  }
}

You can also do this with a local traffic policy, and if the rule is really this simple, that would be the preferred approach as it would be more performant. See this article on DevCentral for details on choosing iRules versus local traffic policy.

Finally, known that using the HTTP::redirect command, you'll be restricted to a 302. Use HTTP::respond to change the redirect code.
