Irule to allow/block URL

Hi Sanalbabu,

I asume that this allow/blocking functionality would be needed for a virtual server serving a specific websites, right? If so, then use the snippet below as a starting point...

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
    if { ( [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.0.0.0/8] ) or
         ( [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 172.16.0.0/12] ) or
         ( [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 192.168.0.0/16] ) } then {
        set my_trusted_clients 1
    } else {
        set my_trusted_clients 0
    }
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "www.abc.com" } then {
        set low_uri [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]
        if { ( $my_trusted_clients ) and 
            (( $low_uri starts_with "/xyz/ccc" ) or 
             ( $low_uri starts_with "/xyz/yyy" ) or 
             ( $low_uri starts_with "/xyz/ppp" ) or 
             ( $low_uri starts_with "/xyz/ooo" )) } then {
             You may insert additional iRule code here, to handle request to the explicitly allowed sub-sites
        } elseif { $low_uri starts_with "/xyz" } then {
             Insert your block code here, to handle the blocked requests
            
             Below are some examples...
            
             1.) Sending a redirect
             HTTP::redirect "http://www.somesite.com/errorpage.html"
            
             2.) Sending a errorpage
             HTTP::respond 403 content "Access denied"
        } else {
             You may insert additional iRule code here, to handle request to other sub-sites
        }
    } else {
         You may insert additional iRule code here, to handle request to other sites
    }
}

Cheers, Kai
