Can you wildcard cookie name with HTTP::cookie?

Hi Eric,

Matching a regexp on HTTP::cookie should be a trivial exercise. There's a nice example here where a Class of regex strings was created and the iRule runs a foreach loop to parse each entry:

There's nothing intrinsically special about HTTP::cookie. You can match and manipulate the content of this field in much the same way you can match any TCL var. If you want to just match anything with 'test' don't forget the "contains" criterion.

Check out this page https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/irules-101-10-regular-expressions and heed the examples and warnings.

Hi Eric,

you can't use wildcards in combination with the

[HTTP::cookie exists]

foreach cookie_name [HTTP::cookie names] {
    if { $cookie_name contains ".test" } then {
        reject
        break
    }
}

... or even using the

[cookie names]

if { [HTTP::cookie names] contains ".test" } then {
    reject
}

Cheers, Kai

Thank you very much, zeiss and Kai. Would this be the correct reverse on the above then?

foreach cookie_name [HTTP::cookie names] { if { $cookie_name ! contains ".test" } then { reject break } }

... or even using the [cookie names] list as a whole...

if { ! [HTTP::cookie names] contains ".test" } then { reject }

Thanks again Kai! :-)
