Can you use regex in these data groups? I will want to match a common 3 digit string in each URI but the digits will change over time. Also I would want to ignore case on these URIs.
what about this?
e.g.
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync Changes Pending)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm virtual bar
ltm virtual bar {
destination 172.28.20.111:80
ip-protocol tcp
mask 255.255.255.255
pool foo
profiles {
http { }
tcp { }
}
rules {
myrule
}
source 0.0.0.0/0
source-address-translation {
type automap
}
vs-index 23
}
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync Changes Pending)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm rule myrule
ltm rule myrule {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
set path [string tolower [HTTP::path]]
switch -glob $path {
"/slowcomputer/is/slow/index.html" -
"/notso/fastcomputer/is/notfast.html" -
"slownotebook/is/slow/nossl/index.html" -
"/slow[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]/nossl/is/slow/myhome.svc" {
do nothing
}
default {
HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
}
}
}
}

Ahh... I think I followed what you did. Thnx. I can use this as a sample to learn from. I like the method of using a data group for the individual URIs. I need to dig into iRule fundamentals, I guess.
