Nimbostratusalteration to an existing irule
Hi,
This is definitely a newbie question, so apologies in advance!
I have a context switch within an irule like so:
"/stuff/place*" {
pool my_pool
return
}
I would now like to point /stuff* to the same pool, but in the following manner:
"/stuff*" {
if { some conditions } {
HTTP::redirect "http://www.site.com/overhere/"
} else {
pool my_pool
}
My question is, can the two context switches co-exist within the same irule or will the switch for /stuff* overrule the entry for /stuff/place* ?
Brian_69413TCL evaluates switch statements in order, so you should put the more specific towards the top and the less specific at the bottom...
OttimoMassimo_1Thanks for the reply Brian. I'll test that and let you know how it goes.- nitass

Sep 16 01:21:21 tmm tmm[7053]: Rule myrule1 : URI is /stuff/place123, /stuff/place* is triggered. - Your syntax actually looks just fine, you just need to combine the two with, as the above poster said, the more specific criteria first. Make sure you're closing the switch cases, and you're good to go.
