If not a , b, or c, do 1 through 15

I have an iRule where I need to run some commands, but only if the URI does not match several cases.

 

 

I can't seem to get two negative conditionals to work and I don't have the option to invert the checks and use switch.

 

 

 

This works OK:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { !([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/blah") }{

 

do something

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

 

 

 

This doesn't:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { ( !([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/blah")) or ( !([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/blah2")) }{

 

do something

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

Ideally, l'd like to have a rule that says if the URI doesn't start with any of these five things continue with the rest of the irule.

 

 

 

Any suggestions?

    Hi,

    Here's an example: 

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
"/a*" -
"/d*" -
"/f*" {
 Do nothing
}
default {
 Did not match a, d or f so do something
}
}
}

    Pretty basic. I should have figured that out. I find solutions for my problems in your past forum posts all the time. Thanks for your help Aaron!
