Converting a 4.5 rule to an iRule

Brian,

I would rather you take a stab at this yourself. It's the best way to learn the new syntax. Here are some rules that will make the conversion easier:

a) http_uri is now [HTTP::uri].

b) Tcl syntax requires that you use {} instead of () around the expression in an if statement (ie, instead of "if (...) {...}" you would do "if {...} {...}".

c) You will need to pick an event for the rule to be evaluated under. Since your 4.5 rule is primarily based on the HTTP uri, then the event HTTP_REQUEST would be most suitable.

Here is a basic template with some examples of what you might want to do:

  
  rule my_redirect {  
     when HTTP_REQUEST {  
        if { [HTTP::uri] contains "HR" or [HTTP::uri] contains "hr" } {  
           redirect to "https://pshr.txxx.com/hr"  
        } elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "SELFSERVICE" or [HTTP::uri] contains "selfservice") {   
           redirect to "https://pshr.txxx.com/selfservice"   
        }  more elseif's may following here...  
     }  
  }  
  

I also noticed you are often doing a comparison for both upper and lowercase versions of the string. In 9.x, this can be simplified like so:

  
  rule my_redirect {  
     when HTTP_REQUEST {  
        set my_uri [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]  
        if { $my_uri contains "hr" } {  
           redirect to "https://pshr.txxx.com/hr"  
        } elseif { $my_uri contains "selfservice") {   
           redirect to "https://pshr.txxx.com/selfservice"   
        }  more elseif's may following here...  
     }  
  }  
  

Good luck, and be sure to post back if you run into any problems.

Your examples where very helpful... My final rule:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

set my_uri [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]

 

if { $my_uri contains "hr" } {

 

redirect to "https://pshr.txxx.com/hr"

 

} elseif { $my_uri contains "selfservice" } {

 

redirect to "https://pshr.txxx.com/selfservice"

 

} elseif { $my_uri contains "finti" } {

 

redirect to "https://psfin.txxx.com/finti"

 

} elseif { $my_uri contains "fintl" } {

 

redirect to "https://psfin.txxx.com/fintl"

 

} elseif { $my_uri contains "finspc" } {

 

redirect to "https://psfin.txxx.com/finspc"

 

}

 

}
