LTM - iRule operator

Hello, We agree that I can simplify the line :  (not [HTTP::header "str1"] equals "str2")) to [HTTP::header "str1"] ne "str2")   I have a doubt : https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/Operators...

Hi cpt_ri_F5,

You can use "ne" operator for string comparisons. The function of the following two lines is the same.

not ([HTTP::header str1] equals "str2")
[HTTP::header str1] ne "str2"

eq ne: Boolean string equal and string not equal. Each operator produces a zero/one result. The operand types are interpreted only as strings
