iRule operator evaluation order OR/AND
Hi all,
This must be some simple syntax problem but I have been bashing my head for a while. Here is the irule:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {(![class match [getfield [IP::client_addr] "%" 1] eq tcp_whitelist]) or (![class match [getfield [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For] "%" 1] equals xff_whitelist]) and ([class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains uripath_a])}
{
log local0. "## Batman Client IP [IP::client_addr], Client XXF IP [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For], [HTTP::method], URL: [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
} else {
pool pl-something-WEB-443
#log local0. "## Robin Client IP [IP::client_addr], Client XXF IP [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For], [HTTP::method], URL: [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
}
}
Here is some additional info. I have two data groups containing XFF src IPs and another group with TCP IP as well as a datagroup with list of URI paths. So the idea is that we evaluated where http request is NOT comming from the IP address neither on xff_whitelist nor tcp_whitelist dg and also that URI path is matching one in uripath_a dg. I am having problems figuring out proper syntax to evaluate or operator before evaluating and operator.
I have tried wrapping or statemnts in additional clause but that does not seem to work. I think I am doing it wrong.
{((![class match [getfield [IP::client_addr] "%" 1] eq tcp_whitelist]) or (![class match [getfield [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For] "%" 1] equals xff_whitelist])) and ([class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains uripath_a])}
Any help and advice is greatly appreceated.
Hi alex100,
It might be better to think in parts.
when HTTP_REQUEST { #if uri matches with uripath_a: if { [class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains /Common/uripath_a] } { #log local0. "Log1 - Uri matched [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" #if Client IP doesn't match with tcp_whitelist if { !([class match [getfield [IP::client_addr] "%" 1] eq /Common/tcp_whitelist]) } #log local0. "Log2 - Uri matched [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] | Client IP did not match [IP::client_addr]" #if XFF doesn't match with xff_whitelist if { !([class match [getfield [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For] "%" 1] eq /Common/xff_whitelist]) } #log local0. "Log3 - Uri matched [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] | Client IP did not match [IP::client_addr] | XFF did not match [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For]" } #if Client IP doesn't match with tcp_whitelist and XFF matches with xff_whitelist else { #log local0. "Log4 - Uri matched [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] | Client IP did not match [IP::client_addr] | XFF matched [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For]" } #if Client IP matches with tcp_whitelist else { #log local0. "Log5 - Uri matched [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] | Client IP matched [IP::client_addr]" #if XFF doesn't match with xff_whitelist if { !([class match [getfield [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For] "%" 1] eq /Common/xff_whitelist]) } #log local0. "Log6 - Uri matched [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] | Client IP matched [IP::client_addr] | XFF did not match [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For]" } #if Client IP matches with tcp_whitelist and XFF matches with xff_whitelist else { #log local0. "Log7 - Uri matched [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] | Client IP matched [IP::client_addr] | XFF matched [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For]" } } } #if uri doesn't match with uripath_a else { #log local0. "Log8 - Uri did not match [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" } }
I think you want this condition:
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { !([class match [getfield [IP::client_addr] "%" 1] eq /Common/tcp_whitelist]) and !([class match [getfield [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For] "%" 1] eq /Common/xff_whitelist]) and ([class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains /Common/uripath_a]) } # log local0. "Batman Client IP [IP::client_addr], Client XXF IP [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For], [HTTP::method], URL: [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" } else { pool pl-something-WEB-443 } }
some function with different operators:
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { !(([class match [getfield [IP::client_addr] "%" 1] eq /Common/tcp_whitelist]) or ([class match [getfield [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For] "%" 1] eq /Common/xff_whitelist])) and ([class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains /Common/uripath_a]) } # log local0. "Batman Client IP [IP::client_addr], Client XXF IP [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For], [HTTP::method], URL: [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" } else { pool pl-something-WEB-443 } }

Thank you for your feedback, time and refactored rule. Looks like I was on the right path but the culprit turned out to be about negation sign ["!"] placement.
Original if statement
{((![class match [getfield [IP::client_addr] "%" 1] eq tcp_whitelist]) or (![class match [getfield [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For] "%" 1] equals xff_whitelist])) and ([class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains uripath_a])}
Re-factored if statement
{ ([class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with uripath_a]) and !(([class match [getfield [IP::client_addr] "%" 1] eq /Common/tcp_whitelist]) or ([class match [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For] contains /Common/xff_whitelist])) }
Looks like with multiple class mach commands , "!" has to be moved outside of ().
