NimbostratusHow to escape $
Hi, in the rule below, we need to insert a header with a name that starts with $. Escaping $ with \ (\$) isn't working. Is there another way to escape $ ?
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::header insert "\$xyz" "ValueOfXYZheader"
log local0.info "header is [HTTP::header value \$xyz]"
}
The ltm log shows:
Rule insert_header_rule : header is
The header value isn't displayed.
We've tried "\$xyz", {\$}, \$, ...
Thanks,
Chad

I think you should be able to use curly braces to force the header name to be interpreted as a string:
HTTP::header insert {$xyz} "ValueOfXYZheader"

Chadwick_McInniThis worked, changed the $ to its html value, and escaped the & and with \. Thanks!
HTTP::header insert "\&\36xyz" "ValueOfXYZheader"
