Need help with a redirect iRule

Hello Bhattman,

 

 

Thank you for you help, much appreciated.

 

 

A switch statement seems like a good idea, I was actually wondering how I could get it to work. The reason I though of using a split and set statement is because I am thinking of "database1" as a variable, and what I must match in the redirect file. But I see now that I could think of "database1" (which can be "database2, etc) as a wildcard, and match other parts of the path.

 

 

I will have to work some more to test for eventualities, but I think some variation of the code below will work for me.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {

 

"/test/web*" {

 

break do nothing, most requests match here

 

}

 

"*openurl.ashx*" {

 

set name [URI::path [HTTP::uri] 1 1]

 

set name [string range $name 0 end-1] chop the trailing back slash

 

set location [findclass $name $::redirect_file " "]

 

HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/test/web/openurl.ashx?$location[URI::query [HTTP::uri]]"

 

}

 

default {

 

set location [findclass [HTTP::uri] $::redirect_file " "]

 

HTTP::redirect /test/web/default.aspx?$location

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

Pity it takes ages to test changes in our BigIP. The GUI there must be the slowest GUI ever invented -- some 20-30 seconds to navigate to a new page there or to make a change.

 

 

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

 

 

Best regards,
