CirrusSo after turning on some logging and looking at the HTTP headers in the browser i discovered that it actually WAS matching on just the "/" but then the server was redirecting with some params so it was trying to go to /?lang=eng, which of course was NOT being matched by just /. So I had to add another match string for "/?*". Of course the ? is a regex special character so I had to escape it, so then it looked like "/\?*" but that wasn't matching for some reason either. After a bit of digging I found that I had to double escape the ? for some reason????? So the final match strings looks like:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
/services* {
pool pool_beta-dev.blah.org_SERVICES
}
.......
/ -
/\\?*
/main* -
/member* -
/legal* -
/manual* -
/platform* -
/resources* -
/search* {
pool pool_beta-dev.blah.org_SEARCH
}
.........
default {
HTTP::redirect http://beta-dev.blah.org/error/ui?code=404
}
}
}
Hope that helps someone.
One last question, why did I have to double escape the question mark?
