Valid 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
}

     

     

    HTH,

    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.

    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
