syntax issue on 4.x to 9.x conversion

Hey guys. I've been doing some code conversion to a newer F5 box and ran into a compiling issue with a short code segment from the original.

 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The original looks like:

 

 

if (http_uri matches_regex "/invoke/FxPartnerDriverStandard.Public[\:,\/]ProcessRqst" and http_header("SSLClientCertStatus") == "NoClientCert") {

 

use pool TMP_PROD_client_Auth_me_6555_pool

 

}

 

 

I've converted it to:

 

 

if {$uri matches_regex "/invoke/FxPartnerDriverStandard.Public[\:,\/]ProcessRqst" and $header == "NoClientCert"} {

 

pool TMP_PROD_client_Auth_me_6555_pool

 

}

 

 

Here's the problem.

 

[\:,\/] is the segment that won't compile. Just FYI, that code segments expanded basically means

 

 

$uri matches_regex "/invoke/FxPartnerDriverStandard.Public: ProcessRqst" (I made the space on purpose since it converts to a smiley if put together...)

 

or

 

$uri matches_regex "/invoke/FxPartnerDriverStandard.Public/ProcessRqst"

 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

I have solved the issue by doing an 'or' and just separated the two compares in the if statement. While that's fine, the code becomes long and ugly if we were to add additional symbols. Is there a similar way to do this comparison in 9.x iRule?

 

 

Thanks!!
