Nimbostratushaving /%23/path - /#/uri issue matching irule
Our developers have decided to user //uri for the match case, in the f5 it shows up as just / with no //uri. I've tried uri decoding, string map, no luck. Here's my latest attempt to catch the / at the beginning of the uri..
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [URI::decode [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/" } {
switch -exact [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
"//a" { HTTP::redirect "http://www.Aredirect.com}
"//b" { HTTP::redirect "http://www.Bredirect.com}
"//c" { HTTP::redirect "http://www.Credirect.com}
}
} }
i think client (browser) does not send URI-fragments to server (bigip).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier- ch4f5_166880I think you're right! The developers couldn't filter/see the / character in Apache either. One of the engineer mentioned that no rewrite parsing engine will be able to filter on this character (f5, apache, IIS, etc).

Ok, so does that mean the only option here is for them to recode the URL to use any other character then / to get the irule redirect to work?

I tried uri decoding another way, same blank "/" result..
when HTTP_REQUEST { log local0. "irule_blah [HTTP::uri] triggered!"
set tmpUri [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] set uri [URI::decode $tmpUri] log local0. "HTTP uri decoded to $uri triggered!" log local0. "HTTP uri = [HTTP::uri] triggered!" switch -glob $uri { "//a" { HTTP::redirect "http://www.Aredirect.com} "//b" { HTTP::redirect "http://www.Bredirect.com} "//c" { HTTP::redirect "http://www.Credirect.com}}
info tmm7[23795]: Rule /blah : irule_blah / triggered! info tmm7[23795]: Rule /blah : HTTP uri decoded to / triggered! info tmm7[23795]: Rule /blah : HTTP uri = / triggered!
Hannes_RappMany characters have special meaning in TCL. Try using curly braces instead of double quotes.
if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with {/} } { switch [HTTP::uri] { {//a} { HTTP::redirect "http://www.Aredirect.com"} {//b} { HTTP::redirect "http://www.Bredirect.com"} {//c} { HTTP::redirect "http://www.Credirect.com"} } }- ch4f5_166880
No luck, but thanks for the suggestion! I logged a case with f5 support as well. This may be a no go. I've done URL decoding before, but never with a sound in the beginning of the path like this. If I change it to any other character, it works fine!
