Irule problem "contains then insert"

Hi Guys,

 

Looking to add an irule to fix a code issue until it can be fixed by the software team

 

when a request is made that contains native-billing i would like it to insert header named x-version with the value of 9.0

 

we have tried

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { if {{ [HTTP::uri] contains "native-billing" }} { HTTP::header insert "X-Version" "'9.0'" }

 

}

 

didnt work Any ideas

 

thanks is advance

    figured it out didnt like the "'9.0'"

     

    Changed to this and works

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] contains "native-billing" } { HTTP::header insert "X-Version" "9" } }

    Do you get any error when adding the iRule to the system? Do you get any error when the iRule is executed?

    I don't see any major error in the iRule, except the double {. However, that shouldn't cause problems.

    Try add some log messages, like this:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  log local0. "[HTTP::uri]"
  if { [HTTP::uri] contains "native-billing" } { 
    HTTP::header insert "X-Version" "'9.0'"
    log local0. "Header inserted"
  }
  log local0. "Headers: [HTTP::header names]"
}
