SSL (https) redirection to http.

Hi

 

 

Can you please advise me how to redirect https to http.

 

 

Below rule is not working

 

 

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

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"

 

}

 

}

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks

  • https://test.com/

     

     

    HTTP::host is test.com

     

    HTTP::uri is /

     

     

    http or https will be determined by virtual server's service port i.e. :80 or :443.

     

     

    hope this helps.
  • As Nitass suggests, you could use the HTTPS to HTTP redirect on an HTTPS VS by checking for a Host of test.com and a URI of /:

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

    Out of curiosity, why do you want to redirect just https://test.com/ to HTTP?

  • Thanks alot NITASS AND HOOLIO

     

     

    Your irule is working like a charm .

     

    I just want to replace test with not secure.

     

     

    Thanks alot for the help.

     

     

    God bless you.
  • Just a couple of questions for my own clarification... if I read the iRule written by hoolio correctly, wont this only redirect root level HTTPS requests (eg. https://test.com/)?

    Given the and statement, wouldn't the redirect fail if the trailing slash in the URI was omitted? (eg. https://test.com)

    Also, if a request for a nested resource was made, wouldn't that also fail to redirect? (eg. https://test.com/checkout.php).

    Would removing the conditional and solve this problem?

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

    I'm still getting my head around iRules, so these are just questions (not trying to tell anyone how to do things)
