Maintanance Irule two issues

Thanks Nitass, I've put an "event disable" in front of every section and now I can clearly see the maintanance page comes up with the images shown, it works great! So the first issue is resolved.

Concerning the second issue, most people have some favorite in their browser, so when they click there's something like www.x.com/application/eninge the images of the maintanance page doesn't show up. When I type www.x.com/application the images do show up! So, we're almost there. So I'd like in the Irule something like redirect /application/engine to root path www.x.com. That would probably solve it. Is this the correct syntax?

set RequestedPath [string tolower [HTTP::path]] switch $RequestedPath { "/" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get error.html] "Content-Type" "text/html" } }

Or what I actually want to do is

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP:uri] starts_with "/" }

"Call the script

Else

"Do something else"

Is that possible?

So I'd like in the Irule something like redirect /application/engine to root path www.x.com.

you can do but shouldn't it be easier to use switch glob-style matching similar to this?

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  switch -glob [HTTP::path] {
    "*/index.css" {
      HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get index.css] "Content-Type" "text/css"
    } 
    "*/logo.gif" {
      HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get logo.gif] "Content-Type" "image/gif"
    }
    default {
      HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get error.html] "Content-Type" "text/html"
    }
  }
} 

@Nitass: Thanks, I'll give it a try!

I tried it but the problem is when an address is type like: http://www.x.com/something/somemoreinput The images aren't shown. Also when typed http://www.x.com/something/ (notice the / at the end)

So the best thing to do I guess is call another script part or another irule from this irule with

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP:uri] starts_with "/" }

"Call the script"

I don't see how i'm going to get this running with the global switch parameter.

can you post the irule here?

Sure.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -glob [HTTP::path] {
        "/index.css" {
            HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get index.css] "Content-Type" "text/css"
            event disable
        } 
        "/logo.gif" {
            HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get logo.gif] "Content-Type" "image/gif"
            event disable
        }
        "/corners2-grid1-half.png" {
            HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get corners2-grid1-half.png] "Content-Type" "image/gif"
            event disable
        }
        "/body2-grid1-half.gif" {
            HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get body2-grid1-half.gif] "Content-Type" "image/gif"
            event disable
        }
        "/canvas-bottom.png" {
            HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get canvas-bottom.png] "Content-Type" "image/gif"
            event disable
        }
    "/default.jpg" {
            HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get default.jpg] "Content-Type" "image/gif"
            event disable
        }
        default {
            HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get error.html] "Content-Type" "text/html"
            event disable
        }
    }
}

did you forget to add asterisk (*) in switch pattern?

Where should i put the asterisk?

Never mind, I forgot :)
