CirrostratusUsing an iRule to respond with a 500 Internal Server Error message
Hi,
We have a customer error page setup to serve a nice neat error page when various violations are triggered however the JSON applications don't like this as they are not expecting html. What I would like to do is implement an iRule based on any identifiable data such as a header, to respond with a 500 error. For the moment I am just working on the main idea of serving the 500 rather than the custom error however what I have is not working. If someone can review what I have below and let me know why this is ignored and the custom error continues to load, that would be awesome. Thank you.
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
if {[HTTP::header value Connection] contains "close"}{
HTTP::respond 500 content "Internal Server Error" }
}

I am assuming the connection header is being sent by the client and not the server:
when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::header value Connection] contains "close"}{ HTTP::respond 500 content "Internal Server Error" } }
Yann_DesmarestHi,
Try to use Close instead of close
Or
Use
if {[string tolower [HTTP::header value Connection]] contains "close"}{
- Yann_DesmarestWhen you say that it doesn't works, what is the issue ?
- Yann_DesmarestOk, that's there is no Connection:Close header, you need to use another header to identify errors. Maybe HTTP::status
