Following order in Irule processing.

Hi, we have the following irule that thanks to a Dev Central user is working well but I have an additional question. Can someone help me add logic that allows the rule to process in order of granularity? For example, if a user connects with the path of /blah/*/blah2 do not care about the ip block but if only /blah then I do care... I need 3 different possibilities that all include /blah somewhere in the path but 2 specifics that should not have the IP block applied.

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] contains "/blah" } { if { ! [class match [IP::client_addr] equals allowed_IPs]} { log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port] does not match the allowed IP list" discard } } }

    I would add here that it's VERY important to specify the more specific URI patterns before the less specific patterns.

    Data groups don't really support wildcard matching, so you'd necessarily need an if/switch tree for the URI patterns, but then you can absolutely use a data group for the IP list. Try this:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/blah" } {
        switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
            "/blah/blah1*" {
                log local0. "blah1"
                 do something
            }
            "/blah/blah2*" {
                log local0. "blah2"
                 do something
            }
            "/blah/blah3/*" {
                log local0. "blah3/"
                 do something
            }
            "/blah/blah3*" {
                log local0. "blah3"
                 do something
            }
            "/blah/blah4/*/foo1/foo2*" {
                log local0. "blah4/foo"
                 do something
            }
            "/blah/blah4/*" {
                log local0. "blah4/"
                 do something
            }
            "/blah/blah5/blah6-*" {
                log local0. "blah5/6"
                 do something
            }
            default {
                log local0. [IP::client_addr]
                if { [class match [IP::client_addr] equals my_ip_list] } {
                     do something
                }
            }
        }
    } else {
        if { [class match [IP::client_addr] equals my_ip_list] } {
             do something
        }
    }

      Nitass, This is very helpful. I have a few follow up questions. 1- As you clearly did above, I want to be able to evaluate multiple URI strings and if not one of those strings, require the client IP to be allowed. Right now, there are 7 evaluations that need to be done and if not one of those, it needs to match the ip list. List is as follows: /blah/blah1 /blah/blah2 /blah/blah3 /blah/blah3/* /blah/blah4/* /blah/blah4/*/foo1/foo2 /blah/blah5/blah6-* 2- Would it make sense to do the list of URI options as a Datagroup list? If so, how would we do that? I really appreciate your help.
