NSX Load Balancer_Application Rule to handle Redirection

Hi Guys,

I need some help to write down Application Rule for NSX Load Balancer to handle packet redirection.

There is an iRule (mentioned below) which we are using and need something similar for NSX Application rule.

Kindly assist.

Current iRule on F5:

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

if { [HTTP::is_redirect] } {

if { [string tolower [URI::host [HTTP::header Location]]] contains “” and [URI::protocol [HTTP::header Location]] equals “http”} {

HTTP::header replace Location [string replace [HTTP::header Location] 0 3 https]
}
}
}

Thanks,
JS

I see you wrote more at https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-NSX-Discussions/NSX-Load-Balancer-Application-Rule-to-handle-Redirection/td-p/2865334

So now I see you are mixing HTTPS and HTTP. Remember you are the expert here but my thought is to change the above to all HTTPS since we know we can’t mix any longer.

HI Guys,

After some internet crawling i have found the answer to my question.

You can rewrite the Location header from HTTP to HTTPS. The following sample rule identifies the Location header and replaces the HTTP with HTTP.

rspirep ^Location:\ http://(.*) Location:\ https://\1
