IRule - combine 2 variables with an and && statment

The only thing I can see immediately is that you did not have $lower_uri defined. Here is iRule reformatted using "class match" rather than matchclass (which has been deprecated).

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

    set group "group_web_uri_dddMobile"
    set group_web_mobile_user_agents "group_web_mobile_user_agents"
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {

     Set the user-agent field to all lower case so that the data group matches are not case sensitive

    set user_agent [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]] 
    set non_mobile_pool "www.ddd.com" 
    set mobile_url "http://m.ddd.com" 
    set redirect_to_mobile "false" 
    set group $::group_web_uri_dddMobile

     Determine if the user agent (all lower case) is a member of the data group 
    if { [class match $user_agent contains $group_web_mobile_user_agents] } { 
         log local0. "dddMobile - User-agent ($user_agent) is a member of the group_mobile_user-agents data group" 
        set redirect_to_mobile "true"
         Check to see if it is an Android tablet. If it is, do not send it to the mobile site
        if { ( $user_agent contains "android" ) && not ( $user_agent contains "mobile" ) } {
             log local0. "dddMobile - User-agent ($user_agent) contains Android but is not Mobile"  
            set redirect_to_mobile "false"
        }
    } else { 
         log local0. "dddMobile - User-agent ($user_agent) is NOT a member of the group_mobile_user-agents data group" 
        set redirect_to_mobile "false" 
    }

     Now send the request to the appropriate destination based upon the value of the redirect_to_mobile variable 
    if { ( $redirect_to_mobile == "true" && [class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with $group] } { 
        HTTP::redirect "$mobile_url[HTTP::uri]"
    } else { 
        pool $non_mobile_pool 
    }
}

Thanks for the response. Doing some testing now. Thanks!

Looks good and thanks again, Sorry for the late replay, been working on a new IBM POC application for our company.

Looks like I also need to add an additional statement to allow 404 responses from our internal servers. I've put together the following and seem to have a syntax error or I'm using the wrong command. Any advice?

Based on my searches I've put together the below string. I'll place that as the fist irule to fire (after the "set" variables) and it seems to fire in the right order, just on mobile devices it does not load anything so so its not happy. Thanks again for the assistance!

My issue seems to be this part of the statement:

{if [HTTP::status] == "404" }

The combined statements I'm trying to use is:

if { ( $redirect_to_mobile == "true") && {if [HTTP::status] == "404" } } {
    pool $non_mobile_pool
}

Full code combined:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

    set group "group_web_uri_Mobile"
    set group_web_mobile_user_agents "group_mobile_user_agents"
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {

     Set the user-agent field to all lower case so that the data group matches are not case sensitive

    set user_agent [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]] 
    set non_mobile_pool "qa.bbb.com" 
    set mobile_url "http://mobileqa.bbb.com" 
    set redirect_to_mobile "false" 
    set group $::group_uri_Mobile

     Determine if the user agent (all lower case) is a member of the data group 
    if { [class match $user_agent contains $group_web_mobile_user_agents] } { 
         log local0. "Mobile - User-agent ($user_agent) is a member of the group_mobile_user-agents data group" 
        set redirect_to_mobile "true"
         Check to see if it is an Android tablet. If it is, do not send it to the mobile site
        if { ( $user_agent contains "android" ) && not( $user_agent contains "mobile" ) } {
             log local0. "Mobile - User-agent ($user_agent) contains Android but is not Mobile"  
            set redirect_to_mobile "false"
        }
    } else { 
         log local0. "Mobile - User-agent ($user_agent) is NOT a member of the group_mobile_user-agents data group" 
        set redirect_to_mobile "false" 
    }

    if { ( $redirect_to_mobile == "true") && {if [HTTP::status] == "404" } } {

    pool $non_mobile_pool
    }
     Now send the request to the appropriate destination based upon the value of the redirect_to_mobile variable 
   if { ( $redirect_to_mobile == "true" && [class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with $group] ) } { 
        HTTP::redirect "$mobile_url[HTTP::uri]"
} else { 
        pool $non_mobile_pool 
    }
}

Hi there use either

{if [HTTP::status] eq "404" } 

or

{if [HTTP::status] == 404 } 

I think the 2nd one slightly more efficient (or I could be making that up).

Thanks for the reply, for some reason the page still does render on the handheld device with this line in.

if { ( $redirect_to_mobile == "true") && {if [HTTP::status] == "404" } } {

pool $non_mobile_pool

As soon as I comment this part out it allows the page to render. I'm basically looking to capture 404 responses and pass that on to our back end servers to handle the 404 message. I'm not sure what I'm missing in the irule logic. Thanks again for the advice!

Sorry I misplaced a bracket above. Try this;

if { $redirect_to_mobile eq "true" &&  [HTTP::status] == 404 } {

Sorry, I'm sure I'm annoying now. I get the following when saving your string above from the iRule editor. it appears to not like it without the bracket.

line 30: [command is not valid in current event context (HTTP_REQUEST)] [HTTP::status]

I'm sorry - sometimes I answer without reading the whole thing, so I missed you were trying to access HTTP::status from HTTP_REQUEST. HTTP::status is a serverside attribute - no accessible from HTTP_REQUEST. I don't really understand what that whole 'if' statement is for BTW - I think you could just drop it altogether without changing the logic-flow through your iRule;-

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
    set group "group_web_uri_Mobile"
    set group_web_mobile_user_agents "group_mobile_user_agents"
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
     Set the user-agent field to all lower case so that the data group matches are not case sensitive

    set user_agent [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]] 
    set non_mobile_pool "qa.bbb.com" 
    set mobile_url "http://mobileqa.bbb.com" 
    set redirect_to_mobile "false" 
    set group $::group_uri_Mobile

     Determine if the user agent (all lower case) is a member of the data group 
    if { [class match $user_agent contains $group_web_mobile_user_agents] } { 
         log local0. "Mobile - User-agent ($user_agent) is a member of the group_mobile_user-agents data group" 
        set redirect_to_mobile "true"
         Check to see if it is an Android tablet. If it is, do not send it to the mobile site
        if { ( $user_agent contains "android" ) && not( $user_agent contains "mobile" ) } {
             log local0. "Mobile - User-agent ($user_agent) contains Android but is not Mobile"  
            set redirect_to_mobile "false"
        }
    } else { 
         log local0. "Mobile - User-agent ($user_agent) is NOT a member of the group_mobile_user-agents data group" 
        set redirect_to_mobile "false" 
    }

     Now send the request to the appropriate destination based upon the value of the redirect_to_mobile variable 
   if { ( $redirect_to_mobile == "true" && [class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with $group] ) } { 
        HTTP::redirect "$mobile_url[HTTP::uri]"
} else { 
        pool $non_mobile_pool 
    }
}
