Thanks, Nitass. I'm using your first example because I prefer its structure... But I'm running into a problem. I have code like this:

 

 


        set foo "bar"
        switch -glob -- [URI::decode [HTTP::uri]] "
                /$foo/* { HTTP::respond 200 content {you found foo.} }
                default {
                  set x {hello}
                  log local0. {$x}
                }
        "

 

Executing this results in "TCL error: testirule - can't read "x": no such variable. Any idea why?
