    Hi Sajid,

    In fact we have to decoded payload using "[URI::decode [HTTP::payload]]"

    Payload:

    is=txtURL=https%3A%2F%2Ftrnapp01.example.com%3A443%2Fappmanager%2Fabc&username=user123&password=%40password123

    decoded raw:

    is=txtURL=https://trnapp01.example.com:443/appmanager/abc&username=user123&password=@password123

    now we have to set the right regex in your irule:

    https://regex101.com/

    when HTTP_REQUEST_DATA {
 
set payload [URI::decode [HTTP::payload]]
 
set username [URI::query "?[HTTP::payload]" username]
set password [URI::query [URI::decode "?[HTTP::payload]"] password]
 
regexp {^.*txtURL=([^&]+).*$} $payload -> gotURL
 
log local0. "Username: $username - password : $password - gotURL: $gotURL"
 
HTTP::release
 
}

    keep me in touch.

    regards

Hi

 

facing issue with this regexp

regexp {^.*txtURL=([^&]+).*$} $payload -> gotURL

  regexp {^.*username=([^&]+).*$} $payload -> username

  regexp {^.*password=([^&]+).*$} $payload -> password

 

if password contains &, ^, # that is not working.

 

Need help?

 

Regards,

Sajid
