NimbostratusQuery Related to HTTP GET and HTTP POST
Hi Team,
Got a query related to HTTP GET and HTTP POST
For this requirement we need to know is LTM URL blocking can access POST data ?
For a sample Irule, pasted below: URL Blocking,
when HTTP_REQUEST priority 400 { log local0. "Uri is [HTTP::uri]" if {[HTTP::uri] contains "index.rss" } { HTTP::close
log local0. "matched URI [HTTP::uri]"
return } elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/$" } { HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/us/en/"
log local0. "matched URI [HTTP::uri]"
return } elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/%"} { HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/us/en/"
log local0. "matched URI [HTTP::uri]"
return } elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/_"} { HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/us/en/"
log local0. "matched URI [HTTP::uri]"
return } elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/-"} { HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/us/en/"
log local0. "matched URI [HTTP::uri]"
return } elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/~"} { HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/us/en/"
log local0. "matched URI [HTTP::uri]"
return } elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "//"} { HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/us/en/"
log local0. "matched URI [HTTP::uri]"
return } elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/admin"} { HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/us/en/"
log local0. "matched URI [HTTP::uri]"
return } elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/web.config"} { HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/us/en/"
log local0. "matched URI [HTTP::uri]"
return } elseif {[HTTP::uri] equals "/console"} { HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/us/en/"
log local0. "matched URI [HTTP::uri]"
return } elseif {[matchclass [HTTP::uri] contains $::xyz_admin_paths]} { HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/us/en/"
log local0. "matched URI [HTTP::uri]"
return }
}
We are using all HTTP GET, let’s say GET data is all into the URI but POST data is not available in URI correct ?
We need to know whether the LTM URL Blocking can access POST Data, if yes how will it look like.

Hi Parveez,
correct a HTTP Post request doesn't include its data in the URI, but in the content of your request. How does your POST-request looks like and which values from it do you need to verify and make conditions from?
Also your iRule example with lots of elseif cases should be optimized with a switch-case and can also be summarized as the redirect is always the same.
Ciao Stefan :)

If I may add, a POST can indeed have data in its URI. It's rare of course, but there's nothing to prevent it. In any case, the GET and POST are HTTP methods, but you're only ever evaluating the HTTP::uri in your conditions, which are available to all HTTP methods.
Parveez_70209Hi Kevin and Stefan,
Thank you for looking into the query.
Will work from our end and let you know further queries related to this.
Thanks and Regards Parveez
