Cannot get a simple URI redirect working

Hi all,
I’ve been searching through examples on here, the alfex github, the samples on the ACOS device, but just cannot get a simple redirect working with AFlex. Can somebody please point me in the right direction?

I’m trying to do the following
The user visits https://hostname.domain.com and the ACOS device redirects them to https://hostname.domain.com/devicepage

I currently have the following (hostname and domain are substituted for the real ones of course:
\# redirect HTTP request to device-reg page
when HTTP\_REQUEST \{

HTTP::respond 302 Location “https://hostname.domain.com/devicepage”
}
However the result I get is that the user gets redirected infinitely to:
https://hostname.domain.com/devicepage/devicepage/devicepage/devicepage/devicepage/devicepage/devicepage/devicepage/…

I guess I need some sort of check first to see if the URI is already devicepage/, but any time I try to implement this the AFlex syntax fails.

I would do something like this:

first check if the URI starts with “/devicepage” # if not redirect to /devicepage

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { not ([HTTP::uri] starts_with “/devicepage”) } HTTP::respond 302 Location “https://[HTTP::host]/devicepage[HTTP::uri]” }

Thanks very much. I’ll give that a go.
