Hi,

I would recommend the modified irule below, changed second if by elseif. Otherwise, If you match the first if you also match the else and you will have a tcl error and a tcp reset on thz client side :

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [class match [HTTP::header "online.protocol.remote.contenttype"] equals header_value_1] } {
        pool_1
    }
elseif { [class match [HTTP::header "online.protocol.remote.contenttype"] equals header_value_2] } {
        pool_2
    } 
    else {
        pool_3
    }
   }

Hi,

Can we supply or pass the header values from a txt file, into the iRule. The txt file to contain all the header values, tab limited etc. using internal data-group? and be made available to the iRules?

Please advise how I can achieve it.

thanks

Hi, you can pass a datagroup file by using the following command 'class match [HTTP::header "online.protocol.remote.contenttype"] equals header_value'. header_value is the name of your datagroup.

But using datagroup, you can't use the switch anymore, you have to use if instead.
