Parse errors

I am trying to fight the parse errors using the GUI and the iRule editor line by line, however I am getting stuck at line 8 using the iRule below for 10.x

 

 

 


when HTTP_REQUEST {
     logging for debug purposes. The following message in particular will place heavy load on the system. Remove for prod!
    log local0.info "processing request for [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
    handle the */awdServer/* case.
if {[HTTP::uri] contains "/awdServer/"} {
if the Referer header does not exist this is a hard-bookmarked or malicious request and it will be logged and rejected.
     if { [HTTP::header exists "Referer"] } {
            if { [HTTP::header Referer equals ""] {
                log local0.warn "request for [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] was dropped due to a null Referer header"
                 HTTP::respond 404 "Object not found."

    I think it needs a close }

    original: 

    
            if { [HTTP::header Referer equals ""] {

    might help: 

    
            if { [HTTP::header Referer equals ""] } {

    Thanks for the reply. I tried that, and no go. It looks to be a argument issue:

     

     

    "line 8: [wrong args] [HTTP::header Referer equals ""] line 24: [parse error: PARSE syntax "

     

     

    Can 'HTTP:header' & 'Referer' go together? Doesn't look like they can from the wiki below. Is there another way to check "the HTTP::header Referer"?

    Thanks!

    There were quite a few mismatched curly and square braces. Also, you need to use the keyword "content" with HTTP::respond. Can you try this? I haven't checked it fully for logic, but it loads at least. 

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
 logging for debug purposes. The following message in particular will place heavy load on the system. Remove for prod!
log local0.info "processing request for [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
handle the */awdServer/* case.
if {[HTTP::uri] contains "/awdServer/"} {
if the Referer header does not exist this is a hard-bookmarked or malicious request and it will be logged and rejected.
 if { [HTTP::header exists "Referer"] } {
if { [HTTP::header Referer] equals "" } {
log local0.warn "request for [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] was dropped due to a null Referer header"
HTTP::respond 404 content "Object not found."
return
}
set ref_query [URI::query [HTTP::header "Referer"]]
set orig_query [HTTP::query]
set servlet [URI::query ${ref_query} servlet]
set awd_uri "${servlet}?${orig_query}&${ref_query}"
log local0.info "rewriting URI from [HTTP::uri] to ${awd_uri}"
HTTP::uri ${awd_uri}
} else {
log local0.warn "request for [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] was dropped due to a missing Referer header"
   HTTP::respond 404 "Object not found."
}
}
 handle the /awd/ case
if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/awd/"} {
if the Referer header does not exist this is a hard-bookmarked or malicous request and it will be logged and rejected.
if { [HTTP::header exists "Referer"] } {
if { [HTTP::header "Referer"] equals "" } {
log local0.warn "request for [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] was dropped due to a null Referer header"
   HTTP::respond 404 content "Object not found."
   return
}
 grab the query string from the Referer header
set ref_uri [URI::query [HTTP::header Referer]]
 grab the Platform from the Referer header query string, if present
if { [URI::query  $ref_uri platform] ne "" } {
set ref_Platform "[URI::query $ref_uri platform]/"
}
 collect the CLIENT value from the Referer header query string, if present.
if { [URI::query $ref_uri client] ne "" } {
set ref_Client [URI::query $ref_uri client]
}
 if there was a host value in the Referer query string, rewrite the Host header
set orig_URI [HTTP::uri]
if { [URI::query $ref_uri host] ne "" } {
set ref_Host [URI::query $ref_uri host]
log local0.info "rewriting Host header [HTTP::host] to $ref_Host"
HTTP::header replace Host $ref_Host
}
rewrite the URI to /PLATFORM/CLIENT/OriginalURI
set awd_uri "/${ref_Platform}${ref_Client}${orig_URI}"
log local0.info "rewriting [HTTP::uri] to ${awd_uri}"
HTTP::uri $awd_uri
 load-balance to the AWD Pool
pool http_test
} else {
log local0.warn "request for [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] was dropped due to a missing Referer header"
HTTP::respond 404 content "Object not found."
}
}
}
