after upgrading from 11.2 to 11.6 now getting irule warning

. I used that construction because I wanted to pick up just the path. [HTTP::path] includes the hostname and protocol fields. [URI::path] gives everything up to the last slash. [URI::basename] gives you the piece after the last slash. I thought it looked too complicated, but that was what seemed to work.

Looking at the docs on devcentral, I may have been misunderstanding it. It did look too complicated.

Also, I think there’s somewhere else some lore that [HTTP::path] gives you everything that was offered after the method on the HTTP command line. If a client happened to deliver the request in the form it would be in should it think that it’s talking to a proxy, that can contain the whole path.

Normally, an HTTP request looks like:

GET /index.html HTTP/1.1

And [HTTP::path] has the value “/index.html”.

However, if the client thinks it’s talking to a proxy, the HTTP request looks like this:

GET http://foo.bar.com/index.html HTTP/1.1

The web server would treat these two requests identically, I believe, but in the second case [HTTP::path] would be “http://foo.bar.com”.

I’ve never tested this; I just did it because I read something on Devcentral recommending that you do so.
