iRule failing on earlier version of Big IP

I dont know why it only affected asp pages and not aspx but its working now and i am happy.Most likely they hit one of the conditions not containing that bad comparison. Glad I could help.

 

 

The way you are using the page_type variable is a recommended approach for saving request values for use in later events when they are no longer visible. Just make it a local variable by leaving off the leading "::" and it should work as expected.

 

 

Local variables are scoped to the connection, so they not only traverse events, but also multiple iRules processing the same connection. Global variables are shared across all rules, all connections. If the same global variable name is set multiple times (i.e. if you use the same varname in 2 iRules), the last value set will be the value the var holds.

 

 

So to avoid unintentional data sharing, never use a global variable for connection-specific data, and never use exactly the same global variable name in 2 iRules unless you intend it to be shared.
