Very odd behaviour when URI contains a - or _ in a string you are checking for

Hi Brian,

After your reading your article a second time the iRule is basically inspecting the URI and then passing that information to a selected pool member. It's not changing the URI so I suspect that it might be something with websphere rather then load balancer or the Irule

However you could add logging statements so you can check

I.E

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST {  
       log local0. "This is the uri: [HTTP::uri] that the irule receives" 
  if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/exam-services" } {  
  if { [active_members ExamServices] > 0 } {  
  pool ExamServices  
  } else {  
  pool ExamServices_Error  
  }  
  }  
  }  
 

I hope this helps
