Can we have iRule for non-http requests?

Yes. you can configure iRule. What is your requirement.

Lets say following is the URL

https://www.facebook.com/BravaServer/searcg.searcgtest/872689

If [HTTP:uri] contains "BravaServer"

Then I want this to redirect to the VIP which is listening on port 9080.

Can you help me with iRule script for this?

If URI is place is fix then try to use starts_with function to achieve goal.

Customize below irule based on your requirements. This just an Example

Option 1:

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/BravaServer" } {
        HTTP::redirect "http://www.abc.com:9082/"
    } 
}

Option 2:

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  if { [HTTP::uri] contains "BravaServer" } {
    HTTP::redirect "http://www.abc.com:9082/"
  } 
}

Thanks

Yes. You can try it.​

I will try and let you know Samir. Thank you very much.

Hi Samir/all,

From the below mentioned iRules, Option 1 works fine, but when I try with Option 2, it doesn't work(Means, I am able to create and save the iRule, but when I associate with VIP and checking with end users to test it. Its not working as per iRule expectation. I was expecting atleast first "if" condition should work). Anything wrong with Option 2 script? When we get next Change window, I am also planning to check Option 3 irule. Is that Option3 iRule fine?

Option 1:

when HTTP_REQUEST { 

  if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } { 

HTTP::redirect "https://dctm.corp.abccompany.com/D2"

  } 

}

Option 2

when HTTP_REQUEST { 

   if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } { 

HTTP::redirect "https://dctm.corp.abccompany.com/D2"

  } 

elseif { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/BravaServer" } {

HTTP::redirect "http://dctmsecondary.corp.abccompany.com:9080/BravaServer/search/searchtext/52d768ebf0179a2762d444277a17ff015ae19482ad8b24bc7712dd44dbaa627e?request.preventCache=1591756362805 status: 0"

}

else {

drop

}

}

Option 3

when HTTP_REQUEST { 

   if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/BravaServer" } { 

HTTP::redirect "http://dctmsecondary.corp.abccompany.com:9080/BravaServer/search/searchtext/52d768ebf0179a2762d444277a17ff015ae19482ad8b24bc7712dd44dbaa627e?request.preventCache=1591756362805"

  } 

}

else {

HTTP::redirect "https://dctm.corp.abccompany.com/D2"

}

}
