NimbostratusGeolocation irule with HTTP response
I am trying to modify the following irule that is set to block connections from Germany, to display a message to the end user that thier connection is blocked. I added 'when http_request' command at the end of the irule below but it doesnt seem to go well with the switch command, something about not supported/invalid combination. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
set default_pool [LB::server pool] switch [whereis [IP::client_addr] country] {
DE {
log local0. "Geo Client ([IP::client_addr]) detected as Germany"
reject
}
default { pool $default_pool }
}
}

You can try something like this
when HTTP_REQUEST { set default_pool [LB::server pool] switch [whereis [IP::client_addr] country]{ DE { log local0. "Geo Client ([IP::client_addr]) detected as Germany" HTTP::respond 500 content { Apology Page We are sorry, but you are not allowed access to this site from you geographic location } } default { pool $default_pool } } }
SK_121993Thanks Richard! That compiles without any errors, tested OK.
