iRule redirect but need some of the original PATH

Hi Dennis,

the

[switch]

command is ideal for content switching scenarios, where you have to evaluate 10-50 different URLs in a first-match condition. If you need to evaluate less than 10 different URLs, then the

[if]

command would have some minor performance benefits, but would be a little more complex. And if you need to evaluate more than 50 different URLs, then the

[class]

command in combination with data groups may come to its shine!

The

[string tolower [HTTP::uri]]

in combination with

-glob

is also a very beginner friendly way to parse the URLs, since it may contain easy to understand String-Wildcards

*

or Single-Letter-Wildcards

$

which can be used as a trailing or leading wildcards, in combination with each other or even for both sides or in between of an URL search string.

A

[switch]

based

[HTTP::uri]

evaluation followed by an redirect would look like that...

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -glob -- [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] "*/shared%20documents/mine.docx*" {
        HTTP::redirect "/sites/corpcomm/Shared%20Documents/Mine.docx?OpenDocument"
    } "*/corporatecommunications/shared%20documents/*" {
        HTTP::redirect "/sites/corpcomm/Shared%20Documents/"
    } default {
         Do nothing or select a pool
    }
} 

Cheers, Kai
