Why do I get a Parse error for the iRule

Bartek

The syntax is accepted by the F5:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "liaison" } {
     IP::idle_timeout 600
     log local0. "Timeout set to [IP::idle_timeout]"
  }
}

but the log gives me this:

(...)increase_idle_timeout] error: /common/increase_idle_timeout:2: error: [parse error: PARSE missingBracket 28 {missing close-bracket}][{ [string tolower [HTTP::uri] contains "liaison" }]

Hello, this error message does not appear to be from this code that looks correct.

 

Did you write in some time like this way (as appear in error message) ?

if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri] contains "liaison" }] {

If I do this wrong code, I get this similar error:

 

01070151:3: Rule [/Common/irule_devcentral] error: /Common/irule_devcentral:2: error: [parse error: PARSE missingBracket 27 {missing close-bracket}][{ [string tolower [HTTP::uri] contains "liaison" }]

No, the code is pasted directly from the box. Also - just to clarify, the iRule compiles and saves - the error is visible in the /var/log/ltm

Also, the timeout is not increased 😕
