Subsite ACL (Exception)

I have a working irule that blocks access to a subsite of a website based on a IP address. I would however like to add to the rule an exception url. for instance all access is blocked to /admin but i would like a folder behind /admin to be able to be accessed. Lets call that folder /upload.

    Here is the iRule

     

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

     

    if { [class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains subsite] and ![class match [IP::client_addr] eq allow] } {

     

    discard }

     

    }

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains subsite] and !([[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/admin/upload") and ![class match [IP::addr [IP::client_addr]] eq allow] } {
discard }
}

    Should do it.

    Hi Jason,

    You could also provide some information to the clients when they are denied access

    Here is the one modified from Chris' 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
     if { [class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains subsite] and !([[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/admin/upload") and ![class match [IP::addr [IP::client_addr]] eq allow] }
       {
            HTTP::respond 200 content "Forbidden Redirect From Remote Server\Acess is forbidden" 
        }

}

    I hope this helps
