Session command and any virtual ...

Hi,

 

 

it seems to be an expected behavior ...

 

 

Here is the response coming from support:

 

 

The session command expects all of the data and associated "any virtual" commands to be a single argument; in other words, a list.

 

 

The documentation uses the most obvious and straight forward way of creating a list, which is to use curly braces ( {} ). However, Tcl deliberately does not expand variables inside curly braces, so the session command as it is written does not add the IP address as the key.

 

 

See http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=63&articleType=ArticleView&articleId=120 for additional details on TCL and braces..

 

 

There are two ways to make this work. The first is to use the "list" command to create the list:

 

 

set slist [list [IP::client_addr] any virtual] session lookup uie $slist

 

 

The second way is to use a string and let Tcl promote it to a list. This is what you are doing when you set the variable.

 

 

session lookup uie "[IP::client_addr] any virtual"
