NimbostratusiRule to block access to all but certain URIs
Only certain URIs are allowed on a server. I am trying to limit access to only those specific URIs. I have tried unsuccessfully to use the following iRule:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { not ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/uri1") || not ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/uri2") }{
HTTP::respond 200 content "URL Blocked"
}
}
This works fine if it is only one URI and the "or" is removed. Thoughts?

Try this;
Create a Data Group (called uriallow below) with the list of permitted URI's (make sure they start with /) when HTTP_REQUEST { if { not [class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals uriallow] } { HTTP::respond 200 content "URL Blocked" } Stop processing the iRule for this event here return }- What_Lies_Bene1OK, slight update;

schmuckThank you. The bottom iRule worked. I changed the "equals" to "starts_with" and removed the Return. That did it though. Thank you very much.

Great. You're welcome.
The Return should have been all lowercase 'return' which probably explains your issue with that.
