Re: CSS header-field redirect

pwjohnson · ‎04-30-2007

Hi,

We have need to redirect mobile users to site that has an optimized view for the content. There are 32 devices needing to be redirected, by matching the User Agent field in the HTTP header.

Do I need to create 32 individual L5 rules or will the CSS do an "OR" funtion on the fields defined in a single header group?

Thanks,

Pat

If a header field group contains multiple header field entries, a content request must match each entry for the rule to be used.

Syed,

We have 5 L5 rules on this VIP currently, I'm thinking adding 30 more rules will affect the response times.

Our other alternative is to do the redirect on the web server.

Thanks, for the quick reply.
