iRule Error for HTTP::respond 404

Hi Bob,

 

 

Which LTM version are you testing on?

 

 

I thought HTTP::respond accepted just a status code. Can you try this instead:

 

 

HTTP::respond 404 content ""

Aaron,

I'm using version 10.2.x

Also I attempted your change, but received the following error:

line 4: [wrong args] [HTTP::respond]

line 4: [undefined procedure: content] [content]

when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::header "user-agent"]] {
"microsoft office protocol discovery"
HTTP::respond 404 content ""
}
}

Sorry, I wasn't reading your rule closely enough. There are a couple of brackets missing:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::header "user-agent"]] {
      "*microsoft office protocol discovery*" {
         HTTP::respond 404
      }
   }
}

Thanks Aaron.. I see it now.. Btw just a quick follow up.. The iRule is working, I can use Fiddler and see a 404 response on the User Agent for microsoft office protocol discovery, however I'm finding that I also need to block the Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/6.1.7600 User Agent as well. I believe what I have below is correct, syntax wise but since its not blocking as I would expected I wanted to run it by this group to confirm its sound and maybe I'm looking over something else...

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::header "user-agent"]] {
    "*microsoft office protocol discovery*" -
    "*microsoft-webdAV-miniredir/6.1.7600*" {
         HTTP::respond 404
      }
   }
}

Thanks,

Bob

Make sure to set all characters in the user-agent pattern to lower case as you're setting the user-agent header value to lower case.

 

 

"*microsoft-webdAV-miniredir/6.1.7600*" {
