How can I detect # sign in URI using irule

Might not be the most graceful solution, but using "contains" works. I threw this onto a dev F5 and tested-- seems to work.

 

 

if {[HTTP::uri] contains ""} { log local0. "Found " } else { log local0. "No " }

 

 

You could also just grab everything after the first using the following:

 

set vars [getfield [HTTP::uri] "" 2]

 

 

Hope this is atleast somewhat helpful.

is it fragment identifier?

 

 

i thought it is client-side only i.e. browser does not send it to server (bigip).

Haha, that completely slipped my mind. Nitass is most likely on the right track.

Is it possible for the browser to not send anything after ?

 

Is it possible for the browser to not send anything after ? i do not see browser sends it in my lab unit. have you seen it? do you have tcpdump?

As Nitass said, the user-agent shouldn't include the anchor (or fragment) in its request to the web server--it's just by the server to tell the client how to render the page and/or focus the page once it is loaded.
