Regular Expression

Maybe something simpler will do?

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { ( [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals "/manorbon" ) or ( [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/manorbon/" ) } {
        SSL::disable serverside
        pool ACA-Pool_app1.com_http
    } else {
        HTTP::respond 200 content "Forbidden"
    }
}

Hi Thanks a lot for your answer. That would be a cool solution if I had just one if Statement. But i have choosen the switch statement because I have a lot of different path. I just added one in the sample to keep it simple. Or is possible and best practice to combine switch an if? Best Regards, Roger

Perhaps then a data group:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with dc-uri-filter-dg] } {
        set local_var [class match -name [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with dc-uri-filter-dg]
        if { ( [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals $local_var ) or ( [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "${local_var}/" ) } {
            SSL::disable serverside
            pool ACA-Pool_appl.com_http
        } else {
            HTTP::respond 200 content "Forbidden"
        }
    }   
}

where "dc-uri-filter-dg" is a string-based data group that contains the base URI. Example:

"/manorbon" := ""
"/foo" := ""
"/bar" := ""
"/test" := ""

The iRule will match only the defined base URI (equals) or the base URI plus a "/" (starts_with).

Thanks For the moment i have just 2 different Pools for 10 different Path. I can use If and a elseif for these two Pools. But I think that in the near future I'll have a single Pool for each Path. And that would be a nightmare to administrate with if, elseif, elseif, and so on.

What do you think? Go for the nightmare or another solution? Best Regards, Roger

You could assign the pool names in the data group, then you'd just add the following to the above iRule:

pool [class match -value [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with dc-uri-filter-dg]

And then the only thing you would need to manage is the data group.

Just as an aside 'switch -glob' doesn't support full regexs, only glob matching.

So the simple answer is;

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {
        "/manorbon" -
        "/manorbon/*" {
            SSL::disable serverside
           pool ACA-Pool_appl.com_http
        }

        default {
            HTTP::respond 200 content "Forbidden"
            return
       }
   }

Here's a variant of Joanna's response, which could equally be done using if/else:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -- [string tolower [getfield [HTTP::path] "/" 2]] {
        "manorbon" {
            SSL::disable serverside
            pool ACA-Pool_appl.com_http
        }
        default {
            HTTP::respond 200 content "Forbidden"
            return
       }
   }
}

Thanks a lot, The sample from IheartF5 was exactly what I was looking for. I do not really understand stand the logic of it but it works.
