Nimbostratushttp::path trailing slash
iRule for a port 443 virtual server with ssl.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::path] starts_with "/GoogleAltLogin-2.0.7" } {
pool googleAltLogin
} elseif { [HTTP::path] starts_with "/banner-mobileserver" } {
pool MobileServer
} elseif { [HTTP::path] starts_with "/banner-mobileserver/" } {
pool MobileServer
} else {
pool HTTP_80
}
}
This works: https://mysite/banner-mobileserver/ - It correctly chooses the "MobileServer" pool, and I am able to see a 'welcome to grails' page.
This does not work: https://mysite/banner-mobileserver - It appears to be using the "else" choice and using pool HTTP_80
If I bypass the load balancer and do WGET's locally on the server, it works with or without a trailing slash, so it is for sure the F5.
How can I make the F5 use the "MobileServer" pool for a URL that either has, or does not have, a trailing slash?

Could it perhaps be something else in the request process causing this? Are you trying this with a browser or cURL? Please try this version and report the results:when HTTP_REQUEST { log local0. "path = [HTTP::path]" log local0. "uri = [HTTP::uri]" if { [HTTP::path] starts_with "/GoogleAltLogin-2.0.7" } { log local0. "google" pool googleAltLogin elseif { [HTTP::path] starts_with "/banner-mobileserver/" } { log local0. "slash" pool local-pool } elseif { [HTTP::path] starts_with "/banner-mobileserver" } { log local0. "no slash" pool local-pool } else { log local0. "default" pool local-pool-single } } 
jwhiteneSorry, this ended up having nothing to do with the F5. It is a quirk of tomcat.
Looking at the http headers, typing in "https://mysite/tomcat-webapp" , and I could see that there was a 302 redirect to "http://mysite/tomcat-webapp/" issued by tomcat.
Thank you for the reply though.
- Kevin_StewartIf you set "redirect rewrite" to "matching" in the HTTP profile, it'll catch these HTTP 30x redirects and rewrite them to HTTPS automatically.
