Thank you. I will go through it.

 

Btw, Is there any iRule emulator that I can use while am trying to play with iRule scripting? Since I have very limited knowledge on iRule it would be great to use any such tool.

 

In my requirement I have SOAP header which is of the form (attached file).

 

I want to extract values like value1 and value2. Appreciate any help.

Is there any iRule emulator that I can use while am trying to play with iRule scripting? Since I have very limited knowledge on iRule it would be great to use any such tool. usually i use bigip virtual edition to test. to send soap message, you know, we can use curl command.

 

 

e.g.

 

Test a SOAP web service using curl

the bigip virtual edition you suggested if i understand correctly needs to install it on a vmware system, correct? I am in need of an emulator or something which i can run on a windows machine (like Win 7) and test my script against? Is that possible.

 

 

Also if you can suggest how i can traverse through all child elements inside a SOAP header element it will be helpful to get me started since I couldn;t find documentation on traversing through child elements in an incoming soap header.

 

 

Thanks.

Also if you can suggest how i can traverse through all child elements inside a SOAP header element it will be helpful to get me started since I couldn;t find documentation on traversing through child elements in an incoming soap header. i am not much familiar with xml. anyway, hope this is helpful more or less.

e.g.

[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::method] eq "POST" }{
    set clength 0
    if {[HTTP::header exists "Content-Length"] && [HTTP::header Content-Length] <= 1048576}{
      set clength [HTTP::header Content-Length]
    } else {
      set clength 1048576
    }
    if { [info exists clength] && $clength > 0} {
      HTTP::collect $clength
    }
  }
}
when HTTP_REQUEST_DATA {
  set header1 [findstr [HTTP::payload] "mycustomheader1>" 16 "<"]
  set header2 [findstr [HTTP::payload] "mycustomheader2>" 16 "<"]

  foreach var {header1 header2}{
    if {[set $var] == "" }{
      set $var 
    }
  }
        log local0. "\[HTTP::payload\]: [HTTP::payload]"
  log local0. "header1: $header1 header2: $header2"
}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  cat /var/log/ltm
Aug  2 15:15:47 local/tmm info tmm[5139]: Rule myrule : [HTTP::payload]: value1value2
Aug  2 15:15:47 local/tmm info tmm[5139]: Rule myrule : header1: value1 header2: value2

what if the SOAP request is like this and I want to parse by looping through each of the and parse this into a TCL list, without using regex??

 

value1 value2

 

value3 value4

 

value5 value6

 

 

value1 value2 value3 value4 value5 value6

facing issue with posting soap so removed the > & < tags

 

mycustomheader mycustomheader1value1/mycustomheader1 mycustomheader2value2/mycustomheader2 /mycustomheader mycustomheader mycustomheader1value3/mycustomheader1 mycustomheader2value4/mycustomheader2 /mycustomheader mycustomheader mycustomheader1value5/mycustomheader1 mycustomheader2value6/mycustomheader2 /mycustomheader
