HTTP::redirect
       Redirects an HTTP request or response to the specified URL.

SYNOPSIS
       HTTP::redirect REDIRECT_URL

DESCRIPTION
       Redirects an HTTP request or response to the specified URL. Note that this command sends the response to the client
       immediately. Therefore, you cannot specify this command multiple times in an iRule, nor can you specify any other commands
       that modify header or content after you specify this command.  This command will always use a 302 response code. If you
       wish to use a different one (e.g. 301), you will need to craft a response using [HTTP::respond].  If the client is a
       typical web browser, it will reflect the new URL that you specify. If you wish to transparently translate the URI for your
       servers (so that the client browser displays the "old" URI), you can use the [HTTP::path] or [HTTP::uri] commands; the
       [HTTP::header] command can also be used to set a new Host header if needed.  This command is equivalent to the BIG-IP 4.X
       redirect statement.
