AltostratusiRule path redirect doesn't work with question mark
Hey everyone!
I know this should be simple, but I'm missing something here. We currently use an irule as follows to switch between pools on a single virtual server:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {
"/en/*" -
"/r/*" -
"/kn/*" -
"/up/*"
{ aa
pool UP-WEB
}
default {
pool UP-PRO
}
}
}
This works great for sending the above paths to WEB, and everything else to PRO. However, I also need to send paths with: "?cont=*" to UP-WEB as well. So it looks something like this:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {
"/en/*" -
"/r/*" -
"/kn/*" -
"?cont=*" -
"/up/*"
{ aa
pool WEB
}
default {
pool PRO
}
}
}
I believe it's the question mark causing the problem. When I try to go to URL: www.mysite.com/?cont=813 it goes to the Pro pool instead of the Web pool. Any ideas are very much appreciated!

since ?cont= is part of HTTP query instead of uri, iRule would need to look for HTTP::query. You can try below or modify if you need to use switch statment for query as well.
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::query] starts_with "cont=" }{ pool WEB return } switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::path]] { "/en/*" - "/r/*" - "/kn/*" - "/up/*" { pool WEB } default { pool PRO } } }

"HTTP::path" will not cover the query content of the requests.
Using "HTTP::uri" instead should solve your issue.
Example:
www.abc.com/login/login.asp?cont=813
HTTP::path = /login/login.asp
HTTP::uri = /login/login.asp?cont=813
Hope that helps.
