Forward HTTP request to different pools based on URI

This will do it for the [HTTP::uri]:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch -glob [string tolower[HTTP::uri]] {
     "/content1*" { pool pool.for.content1 }
     "/content2*" { pool pool.for.content2 }
     "/content3*" { pool pool.for.content3 }
     default  { HTTP::redirect http://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]/content1 }
   }
}

It looks like your might want to do it for the [HTTP::host] though.

Example: http://www.website.com/subcontent/index.html

[HTTP::host] = www.website.com

[HTTP::uri] = /subcontent/index.html

You could also use HTTP classes for this in 9.4.0+ and avoid an iRule. Create one HTTP class per pool, customise the Host header filter to look "www.xyz.com", select the action of "send to pool" and set the corresponding pool. For default pool selection, you can add a final HTTP class with no filters enabled which selects the "default" pool. Then add the HTTP classes to the virtual server under the Resources tab.

Thanks. This rule is perfectly working without any issues.

 

 

Hey guys, I'm trying to do something very similar. I saw your iRule example, tried it, but I'm getting a sysntax error:

 

line 2: [wrong args] [string tolower[HTTP::uri]]

 

 

Here's my rule:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

switch -glob [string tolower[HTTP::uri]] {

 

"/start*" { pool zero-new_http-pool }

 

"/*" { pool zero_http-pool }

 

}

 

}

 

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

Can you try putting a space between [string tolower and [HTTP::uri]]? You can also change /* to the default keyword.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
      "/start*" { pool zero-new_http-pool }
      default { pool zero_http-pool }
   }
}
