Redirect iRule

Question

Hi all,&nbsp;
I am trying to set an iRule to redirect HTTP request to a different URL.
Basically for testing purpose, I created a WideIP which resolves to a WebServer which displays a Blue Page. 
I added a CNAME in DNS calling it Test Blue so what I want is to redirect anything that has testblue in the URL to redirect to an internal webpage called &nbsp;
This is the iRule I am using but I am getting errors&nbsp;
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { (([HTTP::host] contains "testblue")) } {
       HTTP::redirect ";
     }
   }&nbsp;
The error is &nbsp;
01070151:3: Rule [/Common/testblue_irule] error: /Common/testblue_irule:1: error: [unknown event (HTTP_REQUEST)][when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { (([HTTP::host] contains "testblue")) } {
HTTP::redirect ";
}
}]&nbsp;
Can someone point where I am going wrong with this.&nbsp;
Many Thanks&nbsp;

Try below iRule.
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  if { [HTTP::host] contains "testblue" }
  { HTTP::redirect "https://open/open" } 
     }

Need a wee bit more info...&nbsp;
Where are you editing the rule? In the iRule editor? or in the GUI itself? The error comes back how? In the logs? Or in the mechanism you're using to add it?&nbsp;
At a guess, it looks like you've added an iRule as an HTTP_REQUEST event that has as it's first line 'event HTTP_REQUEST'... (Sorry, not got access today to my test box to verify that myself)&nbsp;

Try switch statement to match wildcard.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob -- [HTTP::host] {
  "*testblue*" { HTTP::redirect "https://open/open" }
 default { reject }
  }
 }

I have the same error, look more like a bug than issue with the iRule itself&nbsp;
