Action to redirect HTTP request messages
This action is used to redirect HTTP request messages to a new URL. The
reply_status value specified in this action is used as the status code of
HTTP response message which is sent back to client (Normally a browser).
The HTTP status code for redirection is 3xx, for example, 301, 302, 303,
307, etc. The redirect_url is the new URL that the HTTP request message is
redirected to. Normally browser will send another HTTP request to the new
URL after receiving a redirection response message.
Captured variables and built-in variables can be used in redirect_url field.
For example, to redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS requests for a virtual
server. We create an LbRule without any conditions, add an
LbHttpRedirectAction to the rule. Set the
redirect_url field of the LbHttpRedirectAction to:
https://$_host$_request_uri
And set redirect_status to "302", which means found. This rule will
redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS server port on the same host.
