NimbostratusBIGpipe parsing error during sync
Hi,
We've recently tried to add a global standard redirect on a 6400 running 9.4.6 401.0 as follows:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]
}
When we attempt to sync with the failover box, we get:
BIGpipe parsing error (Line 1960):
012e0021:3: The requested attribute () for 'rule' is invalid.
Upgrading another pair to 9.4.7 seemed to fix this error but we're wondering if there is a simple syntax difference between versions that would validate this rule prior to upgrading our older production boxes.
Thanks,
Ron

In 9.4.7, CR85806 was fixed. A search for 012e0021 and rule returns:
SOL7988: The iRule parser may fail to correctly parse and load an iRule from the command line
https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/7000/900/sol7988.html
The solution title isn't as accurate as it could be, but the issue is that the // in https:// wasn't wrapped in quotes. The simple fix is to use HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]".

Ron_Daugherty_7Aaron,
Appreciate the advise! Didnt see this solution when using askF5. Make sense after birefing iRule_Optimization101. We will try this solution and post the results.
Thanks,
Ron- Ron_Daugherty_7Aaron,
The fix worked exactly as posted. The caveat is we'll have to verify functionality in version 9.4.7, but I suspect the application of literal interpritatoin will be compatable. Again, thanks for your hellp!
