Irule Help

There was a “begins with” clause in version 4.x that we used to route traffic based on the context root of the URL's.

 

I need to know if the “begins with” has been completely removed or replaced with something else in version 9.x

    In v9 and higher, you can use starts_with. But to do multiple URI checks, it would be more efficient to use a switch statement:
