switch statement conditions

Hi SMP,

You can use the -glob flag for wildcard handling with the switch statement. Here are some examples:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
      "/" {
          Exact match for /
         HTTP::redirect "https://www.myapp.com/somewhere_else"
      }
      "/custom*" {
          URI starts with /custom
         HTTP::redirect "http://www.myapp.com/custom"
      }
      "*gif" -
      "*jpg" -
      "*css" -
          All these cases use the same action.
          URI ends with a static file type
         pool static_http_pool
      }
      "/app[0-9]*" {
          URI starts with /app where  is a digit
         HTTP::redirect "https://www.myapp.com/app"
      }
      "/app?" {
          URI starts with /app? where ? is any single character
          as /app[0-9]* is before this, ? would be any non-digit character
         HTTP::redirect "https://www.myapp.com/app2"
      }
      default {
          No prior match so take some default action
         HTTP::redirect "http://www.myapp.com/default"
      }
   }
}

The glob style matching is the same as with string match. So you can check the string and switch man pages for details:
