NimbostratusURL irule or policy for 308 redirect
I am trying to set up a simple URL redirect rule. I have had no success with irules and partial success using a policy.
The policy works well except it does not pass all parameters so some things don't work. The host changes but the uri must be preserved.
"A client that sees a 308 redirect MUST do the exact same request on the target location. If the request was a POST and and had a body, then the client must do a POST request with a body on the new location."
That said, I specified "Match all traffic" as the condition. However, that did not work.
ltm policy URL_Redirect {
controls { forwarding }
last-modified 2020-05-04:15:37:49
requires { http }
rules {
Redirect_hotfix_example.com {
actions {
0 {
http-reply
redirect
location https://hotfix.example.com
}
}
}
}
status published
strategy first-match
}
I've searched for options on redirects including the 308 redirect, using irules and don't get anything. I tried a couple of irules and they are failing. As noted, the host changes but the URI must be preserved.
ltm rule redirect_to_hotfix {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
# Send 308 redirect to https with host altered and URI preserved
HTTP::respond 308 Location "https//hotfix.example.com[HTTP::uri]"
}
}
This returned an endless string in the browser to:
https://hotfix.csstars.com/other/https//hotfix.example.com/other/https//hotfix.example.com/other/https//hotfix.example.com/other/https//hotfix.example.com/other/https//hotfix.example.com/other/https//hotfix.example.com/other/.....etc.
A more simple rule did not do anything:
ltm rule rule_csstars_redirect {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::host] equals "https://hotfix.example.com" }
{ HTTP::respond 308 Location "https://hotfix.newdomain.com" }
}
Any ideas?
