NimbostratusSyntax errors on match_glob?
I've got a remarkably boring rule that I'm getting a syntax error on, and I don't understand why. I've also tried string_match and am getting similar errors, but I'm just not seeing what I'm doing wrong:
On https calls, detect no www and redirect to www
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::host] matches_glob "blah*.com" } {
HTTP::redirect "https://www.[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
}
}
I get this:
01070151:3: Rule [BLAH_HTTPS_NO_WWW] error:
line 3: [parse error: PARSE syntax 91 {syntax error in expression " [HTTP::host] matches_glob "blah*.com" ": extra tokens at end of expression}] [{ [HTTP::host] matches_glob "blah*.com" }]
Basically I'm just trying to redirect a number of numbered domains (say blah1.com - blah10.com) to www.blah1.com without writing rules for each one.
Any thoughts?

The iRule looks okay. It's odd that that you're getting an error. Are you on 10.0 or higher?
Can you try this?
if { [HTTP::host] matches_glob {blah*.com} } {

dpeterson_24304Same error there. We're on 9.3.1.A switch statement works though:
On https calls, detect no www and redirect to www
when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [HTTP::host] {"blah*.com" {HTTP::redirect "https://www.[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"}}}
- hooleylistmatches_glob was added in 10.0.0. You could use switch -glob or string match in prior versions.

Aaron - dpeterson_24304Ah, ok that makes sense, thanks! I did try string match and get a similar error, but switch works for this particular case.
