iRule for Redirrecting based upon URI

Hi,

You could also write it like the following:

  
  when HTTP_REQUEST {  
      if { [HTTP::uri] contains ".img" } {   
         pool testpool2   
      } else {   
         pool testpool   
      }  
  }  
  

or

  
  when HTTP_REQUEST  
      if {([HTTP::host] eq "www.yourdomain.com") and ( [HTTP::uri] contains ".img" ) } {  
         pool testpool2   
      } else {   
         pool testpool   
      }  
  }

Don't forget the "equals" between the host and www.yourdomain.com comparison.

...([HTTP::host] equals "www.yourdomain.com")...

Thanks Joe. I don't know what I was thinking.

You could be more specific and check for a path ending in .img:

 

 

[HTTP::path] ends_with ".img"

 

 

This handles an image with or without a query string.

Through support from F5 I found that I should use HTTP:path instead of HTTP:uri

 

 

This is why:

 

 

The issue is that the HTTP:uri command begins parsing with the slash after the hostname, then grabs the path, then the query.

 

 

From DevCentral:

 

 

 

HTTP::uri

 

 

* Returns the URI of the request. It does not include the protocol (http or https) or hostname, just the path and query string, starting with the slash after the hostname.

Based on your example URL, "HTTP:uri" will return the entire line, as everything that follows the "?" character represents the query.

 

 

Try this instead:

 

 

HTTP::path

 

 

"Returns or sets the path part of the HTTP request. The path is defined as the path and filename in a request. It does not include the query string."
