nested elseif unexpected behaviour

I created an iRule to (first) redirect to maintenance page and then if available redirect traffic to 1 of 3 pools based on URI data groups. The iRule compiles fine but the result is unexpected. The...

So are you saying that in the absence of the maintenance condition it all works?

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with QA-HEC-ENT-URI] } {
        pool INF-ENT-HTTP
    } elseif { [class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with QA-HEC-URI] } {
        pool INF-HEC-DNNREDIRECT
    } else { 
        pool INF-HEC-HTTP
    }
}

Are you specifically testing the maintenance condition, or are you saying that the inclusion of the maintenance condition code causes issues when not in a maintenance condition ([active_members INF-HEC-HTTP] < 1)?

 

If the former, perhaps removing the default HTTP::uri / statement might help. You're basically saying that for anything that doesn't end with .gif or .css, rewrite the URI to /.

 

Otherwise, as alluded earlier, it may be a good idea to fire up a client side analysis tool like Fiddler or HTTPWatch to see what's going on under the hood.
