NimbostratusNeed a Simple iRule
HI
I am new to iRules and have a need to check the content of a cookied, if it matches then I need to send to a pool if not re-direct it to a sorry page. Below is what I have:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::cookie contains "abcdefgh"] }
{
pool test
}
else { [HTTP::redirect http:\\sorry.x.y]}
}
I have also tried using HTTP_RESPONSE, the F5 takes the rule but in the statistics it fails each time its used.
Thanks for all your help.

log local0. "check for [HTTP::cookie contains]"
ramesh_110176Hi
To clarify:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::cookie contains "abcdefgh"] log local0.}
{
pool test
}
else { [HTTP::redirect http:\\sorry.x.y]}
}
Is this correct?- Ramesh -
You want to do:when HTTP_REQUEST { log local0. "check for [HTTP::cookie contains]" if { [HTTP::cookie contains "abcdefgh"] } { pool test } else { [HTTP::redirect http:\\sorry.x.y]} }
Also, what is the name of the cookie that is being tested? - ramesh_110176I am not sure of the name but we can give it a value, I am in the process of finding this out. So once I put this line, how do I check whats going on? Is there a command line command I can type to see the data?
- ramesh_110176Thanks for all your help, after much work I have created what I needed:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
log local0. "check for [HTTP::cookie value ]"
if { [HTTP::cookie value log local0. "Found cookie"
pool test
} else {
log local0. "No cookie"
HTTP::redirect "http://sorry.x.y"
}
}
