EmployeeRedirection should be on F5 side for client requests with Upper case URI to Lower case URI.
e.g.
// config
[root@ve13a:Active:In Sync] config tmsh list ltm virtual bar
ltm virtual bar {
destination 172.28.24.10:80
ip-protocol tcp
mask 255.255.255.255
pool foo
profiles {
http { }
tcp { }
}
rules {
qux
}
source 0.0.0.0/0
source-address-translation {
type automap
}
translate-address enabled
translate-port enabled
vs-index 3
}
[root@ve13a:Active:In Sync] config tmsh list ltm rule qux
ltm rule qux {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] ne [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] } {
HTTP::respond 301 noserver Location http://[HTTP::host][string tolower [HTTP::uri]]
}
}
}
// test
[root@ve13a:Active:In Sync] config curl -I http://172.28.24.10/fR/PAges/DEfauLT.aspx

NimbostratusAwesome nitass.From curl output i see it shows to lowercase but i see in browser URI remains in uppercase instead of redirected to lowercase.
Employeeyou may have to perform further troubleshooting such as tcpdump/ssldump, http analyzer tool or irule logging to see where the problem is.
CumulonimbusI always recommend path-relative absolute URLs when destination page is on the same service as the current page:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] ne [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] } {
HTTP::respond 301 noserver Location [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]
}
}
the problem when working with absolute URLs is when a reverse proxy is configured in front of the server with another hostname or scheme, rewriting is required.
