about regular expressions

Hey CB,

I think you'd want to strip the leading forward slash from the URI. Also, you might want to take just the server to form the pool name:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    Check if Host is www.test.com and URI starts with /server
   if { ([HTTP::host] eq "www.test.com") and ([HTTP::uri] matches_glob {/server[0-9]*}) } {
      log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Parsed [string range [HTTP::uri] 1 7] from [HTTP::uri]"
       Select the pool, taking just server from the URI
      pool pool_[string range [HTTP::uri] 1 7]
   }
}

Or if you're not on 10.x and can't use matches_glob, you can use string match:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    Check if Host is www.test.com and URI starts with /server
   if { ([HTTP::host] eq "www.test.com") and ([string match {/server[0-9]*} [HTTP::uri]]) } {
      log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Parsed [string range [HTTP::uri] 1 7] from [HTTP::uri]"
       Select the pool, taking just server from the URI
      pool pool_[string range [HTTP::uri] 1 7]
   }
}

To do a redirect, you could replace the pool command with

HTTP::redirect "http ://www.example.com[HTTP::uri]"

or maybe something like

HTTP::redirect "http ://www.example.com[string range [HTTP::uri] 0 7]"
