Persist uie with Findstr query

Hi Comms.

 

Basically it's persisting based on the URI of a URL - specifically a query. 9 indicates what is skipped and 3 is the terminator. You can also use [HTTP::query] instead of [HTTP::uri] to accomplish this

Keep in mind we have HTTP::query and URI::query for accessing just the query portion of a URI as well. These would allow you to skip the findstr portion.

according above , does it mean : startwith "q" , then skips 9 characters to" A ", and use 3 characters " DF9 " to persist session ? thank you !

e.g.

[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when RULE_INIT {
   set uri "/content.html?query123ADF90"
   log local0. "\[findstr $uri ? 9 3\] is [findstr $uri ? 9 3]"
}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  tail /var/log/ltm
Sep  3 17:51:53 local/tmm info tmm[4925]: Rule myrule : [findstr /content.html?query123ADF90 ? 9 3] is ADF

For http://somesite.com/content.html?query123ADF90 the persistence record (I believe) will be simply AD

 

 

My logic: find ? in the URI, skip 9 chars to after the 3 and return the sub-string from there to the end, minus the terminator of length 3. So this is AD

 

 

I'm sure if I'm wrong the most excellent community will correct me.

 

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks nitass - looks like I was wrong. I did wonder if I should get on my test box to check...hence the delay in clicking on Submit and missing your post.

hi,

 

thanks very much .may i understand below : when skip 9 chars , it include the "?" ,so it start with the "?" , and end with "3"-------so the 9 chars are "?query123", and then use the after 3 chars "ADF" to persist the session, does this true ? thank you !
