NimbostratusValid iRule for SOAPAction?
I'm looking to direct traffic based on find SOAPAction in a header... if the SOAPAction contains getWMRM... would this work?
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [matchclass [HTTP::header SOAPAction] contains "getWMRM"] } {
pool place_pool_here
}
else {
pool place_pool_here
}
}

- Assuming that "SOAPAction" is a valid header in your HTTP request, you wouldn't even need the matchclass section.
Your code would be as simple as:if { [string tolower [HTTP::header SOAPAction] ] contains "getwmrm" } { pool stringFound_pool } else { pool NotFound_pool }

Robert_Sherrardok thanks for the input...
Rob- Robert_SherrardOne question...
What's "tolower" doing?
Rob - The string tolower command is just a variant of the string command, which is a TCL command that allows for matching/altering string patterns.
In this case, by using the "tolower" option, the rule is doing a case insensitive comparison.
Colin - Oh, by the way, there's a great set of documentation for TCL in general over at sourceforge: Click here.
You can read more about the string command in particular in their section on it here: Click here
