http to https port 8080 redirection

Hi Goldz,

your iRule will do the trick.

Personally I would prefer to use quotation marks to clearly define the start and end of embedded string values.

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    HTTP::redirect "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]:8080[HTTP::uri]" 
}

In addition you may check if a 301 "Permanent Redirect" would be suitable for your website, so that you save a round trip on subsequent HTTP requests.

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]:8080[HTTP::uri]"
}

Also keep in mind, that sending a

[HTTP::host]

is only required for HTTP/1.1 requests. To support HTTP/1.0 requests, you may want to replace the

[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]

syntax with a hardcoded string. You could also mix a dynamic redirect based on available

[HTTP::host]

values and use a hard coded string as a fall back by using a if-then-else syntax.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::host] ne "" } then {
        HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]:8080[HTTP::uri]"
    } else {
        HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.mysite.com:8080[HTTP::uri]"
    }
}

Cheers, Kai
