i-rule for HTTP header based on the Accept-Language

You can certainly write a rule to look for a certain string within that header. Is there something specific you're trying to accomplish?

Hi Chris,

 

 

In Accept_Language field we are getting following two different valuse based on Mobile handset language. They are

 

 

Accept-Language: ar\r\n (When handset language is Arabic)

 

Accept-Language: en;q=1.0,fr;q=0.5,ar;q=0.5\r\n (When handset language is English)

 

 

We want to redirect the URL to other sub URL based on language field. If it is Arabic then to arabic page else to english page.

 

 

I have written the following iRule.

 

 

rule myword_new

 

{

 

when HTTP_REQUEST

 

{

 

if {[HTTP::uri]=="/" or [HTTP::uri]==""}

 

{

 

if { [HTTP::header "Accept-Language"] starts_with "ar" }

 

{

 

HTTP::redirect "http://mydomain/dsb/user-agent/arabic/index.ar"

 

}

 

else

 

{

 

HTTP::redirect "http://mydomain/dsb/user-agent/english/index.en"

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

Will it work?

 

 

Thanks

Irule sometime do not like to many redirects statements I will do something as follow when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[HTTP::uri] equals "/" } then { if { [HTTP::header "Accept-Language"] contains "en"} then {set Language "english/index.en"} elseif { [HTTP::header "Accept-Language"] contains "ar"} then {set Language "arabic/index.ar"} elseif { [HTTP::header "Accept-Language"] contains "fr"} then {set Language "french/index.fr"} HTTP::redirect "$Language" }

 

}
