simple iRule for restricting access

Try taking away the brackets from around the HTTP::respond command

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if {[matchclass [IP::remote_addr] equals $::ip_list]} {
    HTTP::respond 200 content "SorryThis is a restricted site"
  } else {
    pool web_pool
  }
}

 

 

brackets should only be used when you are executing a "get" type command where you are expecting the results to be returned into a variable.

 

 

 use brackets to return value
set host [HTTP::host]
 do not use brackets when setting or calling a command
HTTP::host "www.foo.com"

 

 

As for why this isn't working with a SSL profile, you'll need to make sure you have SSL setup correctly to decrypt the content. Try adding a log statement to the code to try to diagnose the issues.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  log local0. "client address: [IP::remote_addr]"
  if {[matchclass [IP::remote_addr] equals $::ip_list]} {
    log local0. "Client is bad, sending http response message..."
    HTTP::respond 200 content "SorryThis is a restricted site"
  } else {
    log local0. "Client is good, passing along to pool web_pool" 
    pool web_pool
  }
}

 

 

Then look in your /var/log/ltm file to see what comes up. Odds are by looking at the output you'll get it figured out.

I took out the brackets and everything works fine.

 

 

thanks.
