Can you wildcard cookie name with HTTP::cookie?

Can the cookie name in HTTP::cookie be wildcarded, like so?   when HTTP_REQUEST {   Check for SSO Cookie if { ( ! [HTTP::cookie exists "*.test"] ) } { reject } }   Thanks, Eric ...

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.
