Convert rule from 4.x to 9.3

We have a simple rule in 4.5 that chooses a pool based on the URI (below). We're now upgrading to a new BigIP with 9.3, and I'm not familiar enough with the new syntax and options yet. Could someone suggest an efficient way to implement this rule?

 

 

if (http_uri starts_with "/isadmin/isreps") {

 

use pool reps-80

 

}

 

else if (http_uri starts_with "/isadmin/issf") {

 

use pool reps-80

 

}

 

else if (http_uri starts_with "/isadmin/issearch") {

 

use pool search-80

 

}

 

else if (http_uri starts_with "/isadmin/isutils") {

 

use pool utils-80

 

}

 

else if (http_uri starts_with "/isadmin/ismailrouting") {

 

use pool reps-80

 

}

 

else if (http_uri starts_with "/isadmin/isresplib") {

 

use pool nice-80

 

}

 

else if (http_uri starts_with "/isadmin/isagentconsole") {

 

use pool reps-80

 

}

 

else {

 

discard

 

}

    You could try a switch:

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
    "/isadmin/isreps/*" -
    "/isadmin/issf/*" -
    "/isadmin/ismailrouting/*" -
    "/isadmin/isagentconsole/*" { 
      pool reps-80 
    }    
    "/isadmin/issearch/*" { 
      pool search-80
    }    
    "/isadmin/isutils/*" { 
      pool utils-80
    }
    "/isadmin/isresplib/*" {
      pool nice-80
    }
    default {
      discard
    }
  }
}

    Otherwise, if you want to maintain your if /elseif:

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/isadmin/isreps"} {
    pool reps-80
  } elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/isadmin/issf"} {
      pool reps-80
  } elseif {... } {
  } else { discard }
}
