HTTP::uri equality question

This may be a very simple question but I have looked for a few hours now and cannot find a good answer.     Why does this work?     switch [HTTP::uri] {   "/maintenance" { ...
application delivery

Hey thanks Michael.

 

 

I had re-purposed an older more complicated iRule for a new site and removed the switch and just made it an if. It took awhile to figure out what was causing the connection error but it was the if. If I put back the switch it works perfectly. We also thought the == might be the problem so we tried equals too.

 

 

Should this work?

 

if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/maintenance" }

 

 

We can certainly use the switch with only a single comparison but it seems like the if should work too.
