I'm trying to write an irule with multiple not scripts in it

not scripts?

Can you elaborate?

I'm working on a project which requires migrating most of the urls for an application suite to similar, but different hostnames. I started with this irule for one url string, but now, they want to keep some of the urls the way they were and some not, so the irule comparison needs to start at a higher level, but not redirect some specific substrings.

I started with this:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {event HTTP_REQUEST enable} when HTTP_REQUEST { set MY_HOST [string tolower [HTTP::host]] set MY_URI [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]

if {$MY_URI starts_with "/abcd/web/abcd.client.web/"} { if {$MY_HOST equals "m3.companyname.com"} { HTTP::redirect http://a1.m3.companyname.com$MY_URI } elseif {$MY_HOST equals "internal.m3.companyname.com"} { HTTP::redirect http://internal.a1.m3.companyname.com$MY_URI } elseif {$MY_HOST equals "internal.m3-dc1.companyname.com"} { HTTP::redirect http://internal.a1.m3-dc1.companyname.com$MY_URI } elseif {$MY_HOST equals "internal.m3-dc2.companyname.com"} { HTTP::redirect http://internal.a1.m3-dc2.companyname.com$MY_URI } elseif {$MY_HOST equals "internal.m3-dc3.companyname.com"} { HTTP::redirect http://internal.a1.m3-dc3.companyname.com$MY_URI } event HTTP_REQUEST disable TCP::close } }

tried this, get syntax/format errors

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {event HTTP_REQUEST enable} when HTTP_REQUEST { set MY_HOST [string tolower [HTTP::host]] set MY_URI [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]

if {$MY_URI starts_with "/abcd/"} { if {not ($MY_URI starts_with "/abcd/web/abcdpayment.web/") } elseif {not ($MY_URI starts_with "/abcd/web/abcdpaymentprocessing.web/")} { if {$MY_HOST equals "m3.companyname.com"} { HTTP::redirect http://a1.m3.companyname.com$MY_URI } elseif {$MY_HOST equals "internal.m3.companyname.com"} { HTTP::redirect http://internal.a1.m3.companyname.com$MY_URI } elseif {$MY_HOST equals "internal.m3-dc1.companyname.com"} { HTTP::redirect http://internal.a1.m3-dc1.companyname.com$MY_URI } elseif {$MY_HOST equals "internal.m3-dc2.companyname.com"} { HTTP::redirect http://internal.a1.m3-dc2.companyname.com$MY_URI } elseif {$MY_HOST equals "internal.m3-dc3.companyname.com"} { HTTP::redirect http://internal.a1.m3-dc3.companyname.com$MY_URI } event HTTP_REQUEST disable TCP::close } } }

could use "or", f5 accepted it as syntactically correct, but this try didn't work, still redirected the "not" uris...

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {event HTTP_REQUEST enable} when HTTP_REQUEST { set MY_HOST [string tolower [HTTP::host]] set MY_URI [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]

if {$MY_URI starts_with "/abcd/"} { if {not ($MY_URI starts_with "/abcd/web/abcdpayment.web/") or not ($MY_URI starts_with "/abcd/web/abcdpaymentprocessing.web/") } { if {$MY_HOST equals "m3.companyname"} { HTTP::redirect $MY_URI } elseif {$MY_HOST equals "internal.m3.companyname"} { HTTP::redirect $MY_URI } elseif {$MY_HOST equals "internal.m3-dc1.companyname"} { HTTP::redirect $MY_URI } elseif {$MY_HOST equals "internal.m3-dc2.companyname"} { HTTP::redirect $MY_URI } elseif {$MY_HOST equals "internal.m3-dc3.companyname"} { HTTP::redirect $MY_URI } event HTTP_REQUEST disable TCP::close } } } when HTTP_RESPONSE {event HTTP_REQUEST enable}

I thought of using a generic "contains", of "/abcd/web/abcdpayment" but I expect more very specific surgical type requests may be desired in the future.

I think using "or" or some other type of comparison must be the better choice, but I may not be skilled enough to find the answer in the time window required.

I appreciate any help you could offer. (I don't know why the last line in the irule is blown up so large)

Hello,

The code posted below is not well understandable. But I think that you should prefer the switch command instead of if elseif else.

Here is a link that explain how to use switch : https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/how-to-use-an-irule-switch-to-match-httphost-and-httpuri

Hi,

you can try to use array to define old and new hostnames:

when RULE_INIT {
    array set static::NewURL {
        m3.companyname              a1.m3.companyname
        internal.m3.companyname     internal.a1.m3.companyname
        internal.m3-dc1.companyname internal.a1.m3-dc1.companyname
        internal.m3-dc2.companyname internal.a1.m3-dc2.companyname
        internal.m3-dc3.companyname internal.a1.m3-dc3.companyname
    }
}


when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {
        "/abcd/web/abcdpayment.web/*" -
        "/abcd/web/abcdpaymentprocessing.web/*" {}
        "/abcd/*" {
            if {[info exists static::NewURL([HTTP::host])]} {HTTP::redirect http://$static::NewURL([HTTP::host])[string tolower [HTTP::uri]]}
        }
    }
}
