Setting an HTTP status and redirecting

Warning

A plain HTTP status code without a redirect target cannot be set via a WAF rule.

A WAF rule with the Set HTTP Status action allows you to redirect requests with a status code and a target URL.

Rule: Redirect via HTTP status

For example, proceed as follows to redirect requests from a specific IP address to a maintenance page:

• ► Select Request as the request method.
• ► Add the Remote IP condition.
• ► Select the EXACT operator from the drop-down list.
• ► Enter 1.2.34.4 as the value.
• ► Add the Set HTTP Status action.
• ► Select 302 as the status code.
• ► Enter the target URL https://google.com as the value.
