iRULE genetating an error in ltm log

The first clue is always the error message.

 

 

if { [[HTTP::header User-Agent] contains "BlackBerry8100"] }

 

Enclosing the block with brackets tells the TCL engine to execute that code as a procedure. In this case it tries to execute a procedure that is " contains BlackBerry8100" which is why the error of invalid command is given. Fix here is to remove the brackets.

 

 

Secondly there is no curly brackets around the code blocks of the if/elseif. Odds are when the first error is corrected, you'll get a syntax error here.

 

 

This version should work:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::header User-Agent] contains "BlackBerry8100" } {
    pool BB_Test_Pool
  } elseif { [HTTP::header User-Agent] contains "BlackBerry7250" } {
    pool BB_TEST_POOL1
  }
}

 

 

-or- you could do it this way with a switch

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  switch -glob [HTTP::header User-Agent] {
    "*BlackBerry8100*" {
      pool BB_Test_Pool
    }
    "*BlackBerry7250*" {
      pool BB_TEST_POOL1
    }
  }
}

 

 

You pick which one you like better, they should both be functionally equivalent.
