iRule not working properly

im not sure you can actually use wildcards in an equals, so in

{[HTTP::uri] equals "/bd*"}

, what if you try it with contains or starts with?

also it seems to forward you to something else then http://site.name/bd/folder/..., but perhaps your script at /bd/public/frameset_top_html.jsp does that?

e.g.

 

 

[root@ve1023:Active] config b virtual bar list

 

virtual bar {

 

snat automap

 

pool foo

 

destination 172.28.19.79:80

 

ip protocol 6

 

rules myrule

 

profiles {

 

http {}

 

tcp {}

 

}

 

}

 

[root@ve1023:Active] config b rule myrule list

 

rule myrule {

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {([HTTP::uri] equals "/") or ([HTTP::uri] equals "/levi_b2b/init.do")} {

 

HTTP::uri "/levi_b2b/init.do"

 

} elseif {[HTTP::uri] equals "/bd"} {

 

HTTP::redirect "/bd/public/frameset_top_html.jsp"

 

} else {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://leo.levi.com/index.htm"

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

[root@ve1023:Active] config curl -I http://172.28.19.79/bd

 

HTTP/1.0 302 Found

 

Location: /bd/public/frameset_top_html.jsp

 

Server: BigIP

 

Connection: Keep-Alive

 

Content-Length: 0

 

 

I've actually tried that way as well but ti didn't work. It seems to me that the iRules is being entered multiple times ( I see this using the LOG command ).

 

 

Here is some information from the log file. All this occured from just one hit ( the first BD is just an indicator to which If statement I took:

 

 

bd - uri = /bd

 

bd - uri = /bd/

 

bd - uri = /bd/public/frameset_top_html.jsp

 

bd - uri = /bd/frameset_application.sap

 

bd - uri = /bd/navigation_top.sap

 

bd - uri = /bd/startEBPP.sap

 

bd - uri = /bd/navigation.sap

 

 

 

Here is my latest effort as writing this iRule:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

switch [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {

 

"/" { HTTP::uri "/levi_b2b/init.do"}

 

"/levi_b2b" { HTTP::uri "/levi_b2b/init.do"}

 

"/docs" { HTTP::uri "/docs/index.html"}

 

"/bd" { HTTP::uri "/bd/public/frameset_top_html.jsp"}

 

default { HTTP::redirect "http://leo.levi.com/index.htm" }

 

}

 

}

can you try to remove the default case?

e.g.

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
switch [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { 
"/" { HTTP::uri "/levi_b2b/init.do"} 
"/levi_b2b" { HTTP::uri "/levi_b2b/init.do"} 
"/docs" { HTTP::uri "/docs/index.html"} 
"/bd" { HTTP::uri "/bd/public/frameset_top_html.jsp"} 
}

It works. Why is that?

But I still need the switch to take the default so how do I make this happen if it makes the iRule not work?

Hi Rusty Tripp,

You can use Wildcards inside of a switch statement to make things fit and act properly as well as set a default action if none of the conditions are met.

I took your original iRule and converted. The "-" at the end of each qualifier tells the iRule that if it qualifies follow the same action as the NEXT item on the list, so in this example all of them will set the HTTP::uri value. If none of them qualify then you will be redirected.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
"/" -
"/levi_b2b/init.do" -
"/bd*" { HTTP::uri "/bd/public/frameset_top_html.jsp" }
default { HTTP::redirect http://leo.levi.com/index.htm }
}
}

Hope this helps.
