Aug 01, 2006Rule based on Directory.....
Hi All -
I am trying to create a rule in which a request is sent to a pool if it is in the directory. For example if http://abc.thisdomain.com comes in I want it to go to a maintenance pool, but if http://abc.thisdomain.com/language comes in I want to send it to a different pool. I am at a complete lost.
Thank you!
Andi

Hi Andi,
Do you care what the host in the request is, or do you just want to route requests to a pool based on the URI (directory)?
Here's an example if you want to check the host is abc.thisdomain.com:if (http_host equals "abc.thisdomain.com") { if (http_uri equals "/") { use pool pool1 } else if (http_uri starts_with "/language") { use pool pool2 } } else { use pool default_pool }
Else, if you just want to make the load balancing decision based on the URI, you can use something like this:if (http_uri equals "/") { use pool pool1 } else if (http_uri starts_with "/language") { use pool pool2 } else { use pool default_pool }
I wasn't able to get to a 4.x box to test this, so reply if you get any syntax errors or have more questions.

Thanks so much that worked. Now with a little twist. I am trying to apply this with SSL, that resides local to the webserver. This means I have a pool set up to go to the SSL. It does not seem to be working. So this is what I have:
if (http_host == "abc.thisdomain.com") {
if (http_uri == "/") {
use pool MaintPageSSL
}
else if (http_uri starts_with "/language") {
use pool ABCSSL
}
else {
discard
}
}
else {
use pool ABCSSL
}
With the MaintPageSSL pointing to a server IPaddress:443 and ABCSSL with member IPAddress:443.
I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong here. If I just point the Virtual directly to the Pool then it works just fine, but the rule is just spinning and nothing happens, not even a certificate pop up.
Thanks,
Andi
