How to match URI string with "#" character?

Hi Wallst32,

if you have conflicting names for /clientxyz*, then you have to use the more accurate condition of /clientxyz.

But keep in mind that the page may request other content right after (e.g. CSS, JScript, grafics, etc.). So you may need to forward some additional [HTTP::uri]'s to the [pool pool.1]...

The logging part is quite easy to handle. You can basically put every readable iRule command directly into the log statement..

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    log -noname local0.debug "Client = [IP::client_addr] has requested the URI = [HTTP::uri]"
    switch -glob -- [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { 
        "/clientxyz" {
            log -noname local0.debug "URI = [HTTP::uri] is getting forwarded to pool.1"
            pool pool.1 
        } 
        default { 
            log -noname local0.debug "URI = [HTTP::uri] is getting forwarded to pool.2"
            pool pool.2 
        } 
    }
}

Note: I've changed your code to ignore the case using a [string tolower] command and included an -- to explicitly mark the end of the -option section. Both changes would make the [switch] condition more robust...

Cheers, Kai
