Hi Experts ,
i am working on one requirement where i need to redirect https://www.example.com needs to redirect to specific NODES ( 8 nos ) based on URI PATH .
i have created a layer 7 virtual server with SSL profile and attach it with following irule :
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::host] contains "TEST-ESB-VIP-BMA.example.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/m2p/"}
{
node 10.30.214.1 2783
return
}
if {[HTTP::host] contains "TEST-ESB-VIP-BMA.example.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/aps/"}
{
node 10.30.230.31 7001
return
}
if {[HTTP::host] contains "TEST-ESB-VIP-BMA.example.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/bmx/"}
{
node 10.30.214.38 61648
return
}
if {[HTTP::host] contains "TEST-ESB-VIP-BMA.example.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/cts/"}
{
node 10.30.214.236 4515
return
}
if {[HTTP::host] contains "TEST-ESB-VIP-BMA.example.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/mii/"}
{
node 10.30.215.174 50000
return
}
if {[HTTP::host] contains "TEST-ESB-VIP-BMA.example.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/ampla-bma/"}
{
node 10.30.222.43 8889
return
}
if {[HTTP::host] contains "TEST-ESB-VIP-BMA.example.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/ampla-bmc/"}
{
node 10.38.2.48 8889
return
}
if {[HTTP::host] contains "TEST-ESB-VIP-BMA.example.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/iqt-bma/"}
{
node 10.30.215.208 8889
return
}
if {[HTTP::host] contains "TEST-ESB-VIP-BMA.example.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/iqt-bmc/"}
{
node 10.30.222.230 8889
return
}
}
when i try to access the VIP IP using its DNS name https://TEST-ESB-VIP-BMA.example.com/m2p as an example , BIG-IP is sending me RST back stating no Server selected . I can see hit on irule in the statistic TAB .
Here is the packet capture from the BIG-IP :

Hi,
Could you add this in a seperate irule?
when HTTP_REQUEST {
log local0. "This is the HTTP Host [HTTP::host]"
log local0. "This is the HTTP Path [HTTP::path]"
}
And past the logging here?
Because it looks like there is no match.
Cheers,
Kees

Hi Kees van den Bos ,
I have the created the irule logging , here is the logs :

The irule is hitting as expected BUT its not taking any ACTION . Not sure if my iRule is wrong or something else .
20-Jan-2021 20:22
The requirement is to HIT via LB so that SSL can be performed via F5 . i will remove "return" statement and see how it goes .
20-Jan-2021 20:32
Ok removed the "Return" statement from iRule but no luck , Still says no server selected .

I wrote a simplified variant of your iRule. Tested and works as expected.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::host] equals "www.myfancydomain.com" && [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/test" } {
node 10.100.153.40 3000
}
}
Note that I am matching the HTTP::host with equals, not with contains, because HTTP::host should be an exact match anyways.
Also I used HTTP::uri instead of HTTP::path and, but more important, I use starts_with, because HTTP::uri might also be /test/image1.jpg, test/index.html...
Differences between are explained here:
https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/HTTP__path.html
https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/HTTP__uri.html
Differences between contains, equals, starts_with and so on here:
https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/irules-101-02-if-and-expressions
And since you are always matching the same HTTP::host value, you might want to remove that check from your iRule logic and go for a switch statement to only match the HTTP::uri. Something like this.
switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
"/foo*" {
# this will match on any string that starts with "/foo"
}
"*bar" {
# this will match on any string that ends with "bar"
}....
For details see here: https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/irules-101-04-switch

And another thing I noticed is:
You match for
if {[HTTP::host] contains "TEST-ESB-VIP-BMA.example.com" and
and you log:
<HTTP_REQUEST>: This is the HTTP Host test-esb-vip-bma.example.com
Notice a difference in CAPITALIZATION. Maybe better try
if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "www.myfancydomain.com")

Hi,
As Daniel stated, the host is in lower case, not upper.
Could you test this irule:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "test-esb-vip-bma.example.com") } {
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/m2p" }
{
node 10.30.214.1 2783
return
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/aps"}
{
node 10.30.230.31 7001
return
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/bmx"}
{
node 10.30.214.38 61648
return
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/cts"}
{
node 10.30.214.236 4515
return
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/mii"}
{
node 10.30.215.174 50000
return
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/ampla-bma"}
{
node 10.30.222.43 8889
return
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/ampla-bmc"}
{
node 10.38.2.48 8889
return
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/iqt-bma"}
{
node 10.30.215.208 8889
return
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/iqt-bmc"}
{
node 10.30.222.230 8889
return
}
}
}
Cheers,
Kees

Hi Kees ,
Thanks for the code . it work for "/m2p" and other NOT working . Now I removed RETURN at the end of each NODE . Looks likes its Working . I am doing more TESTING .
Can you please ADVISE on this Irule .
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "test-esb-vip-bma.bhp.com") } {
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/m2p" }
{
node 10.30.214.1 2783
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/aps"}
{
node 10.30.230.31 7001
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/bmx"}
{
node 10.30.214.38 61648
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/cts"}
{
node 10.30.214.236 4515
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/mii"}
{
node 10.30.215.174 50000
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/ampla-bma"}
{
node 10.30.222.43 8889
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/ampla-bmc"}

{
node 10.30.215.208 8889
}
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/iqt-bmc"}
{
node 10.30.222.230 8889
}
}
}
Many Thanks for Helping me OUT .

Hi,
This rule looks fine to me.
Cheers,
Kees
21-Jan-2021 06:48
Yes, you had strictly defined your URI path at the first attempts : "eq". Please note that the last script states "start with" which offers more flexibility...but less security.
21-Jan-2021 07:28
Thanks Kees and All for helping me OUT on this . Much appreciated .
21-Jan-2021 20:21
Ok , i ran into problem . The iRULE work fine but the requirement is to replace the host header from test-esb-vip-bma.example.com/m2p to a new url "www.newurl.com/m2p when the LB initiate the request to the server end .
what is mean to say is for example as per the irule /m2p is pointing to node 10.30.214.1 2783 . So when the LB initiate the HTTP Get request , it rebuilt the URL with new HOST 10.30.214.1 with URI /m2p . Is this achievable ?
the scenario is as below
from CLIENT_TO_LB ---> https://test-esb-vip-bma.bhp.com/m2p
from LB_To_SERVER. ----> http://10.30.214.1:2783/m2p
I am trying to TWEAK my irule . Any help in this regard how to replace the HOST header when the LB initiate the request and change with NODE IP AND PORT and append the URI ?
21-Jan-2021 20:22
This URL test-esb-vip-bma.example.com should only be visible to CLIENT and URL header replacement shouldn't be visible to CLIENT .
21-Jan-2021 21:15
i Wrote a sample to see if this work .
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "test-esb-vip-bma.bhp.com") &&
[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/cts" }
{
HTTP::header replace "Host" "10.30.230.15:4515"
HTTP::uri
}
}
The Irule is hitting BUT connection is getting RESET .

But now the BIG-IP doesn't know where to send the request...
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "test-esb-vip-bma.bhp.com") && [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/cts" } {
HTTP::header replace "Host" "10.30.230.15:4515"
node 10.30.230.15 4515
}
}
Sorry for the formatting..... Can you try the above irule?
Cheers,
Kees
22-Jan-2021 03:57
Hi Kees ,
This works !!! thanks alot .
Sorry for my trouble Question again !
The actual URI PATH is HP01/CtsConsignment?wsdl . SO with the ABOVE iRULE the actual URL && URI PATH it take is 10.30.230.15:4515/cts/HP01/CtsConsignment?wsdl .
BUT there is no resource exist in cts/HP01/CtsConsignment?wsdl . The Resource actually exist in URI HP01/CtsConsignment?wsdl .
So i want to STRIP OUT /cts from the URI path once the Host Header is replaced with 10.30.230.15:4515 .
In summary when client request to LB with https://est-esb-vip-bma.bhp.com/cts and request accepted
then LB rebuild the URL with http://10.30.230.15:4515//HP01/CtsConsignment?wsdl
Can this be achieved using irule or i should ask application team to create a URi PATH with cts/HP01/CtsConsignment?wsdl on the server .
Thanks .
22-Jan-2021 04:23
Hi Deepak,
I think you need an irule development course 😉
Is the only uri behind /cts/ /hp01/ctsconsigment?wsdl or are the more?
Cheers,
Kees
22-Jan-2021 04:47
Hi Kees ,
I am currently Working towards to get friendly with IRULES . Really sorry for hitting with many question . My bad 😐
There are like 200 URLS served from different HOSTS ( around 8 or 9 in nos ) . we want to ROUTE the application based on URI PATH which we discussed with ABOVE iRULE .
So for example , when client comes with https://est-esb-vip-bma.bhp.com/cts it should go to http://10.30.230.15:4515/HP01/CtsConsignment?wsdl or some other URI based on data they NEED . Here with VIP IP and URI PATH , IRULE we defined selects the desired HOSTS .
if client comes with https://est-esb-vip-bma.bhp.com/m2p it should route to http://10.30.215.16/Integration1.0/MaterialsServices.svc etc etc
So in general , i want to STRIP OUT the first URI in request and APPEND REST to the selected NODE within the iRULE .
I am doing some reading BUT not sure if this is achievable via IRULE . So reaching out for help from experts .
If NOT achievable then i will ask the APPS team to locate the content BUILD during HHTP get request from F5 based on iRULE .
Thanks /

Hi Deepak,
It is ok, that is what devcentral is also for. To help.
Ok, so you need code to strip off a part of the uri.
Use this:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "test-esb-vip-bma.bhp.com") && [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/cts" } {
HTTP::header replace "Host" "10.30.230.15:4515"
HTTP::uri [string map [list "/cts" "" ] [HTTP::uri]]
node 10.30.230.15 4515
}
}
22-Jan-2021 09:04
Thanks Kees . This Works .
Thanks Alot for helping me OUT . Much Appreciated .
I really need some irule development course .
22-Jan-2021 09:56
Your welcome Deepak!
