iRule Pool Selection Question

Anyone that knows, please feel free to answer this question.

 

 

When I use an iRule to select a pool based on URI, it chops off the first directory of the URI. Example:

 

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

set default_pool [LB::server pool] }

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

pool $default_pool

 

set uri [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]

 

set query [URI::query [HTTP::uri]]

 

if { $uri starts_with "/smartphone" } {

 

pool pool_name

 

return

 

}

 

}

 

 

In this case when it sees “/smartphone,” it selects just fine, but to “/”, not “/smartphone”. Is this normal? If I’m selecting a pool that has the same servers in it, I have to set the URI to include the first directory by adding this after the pool statement and before the return:

 

if { not ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/smartphone") } {

 

HTTP::uri /smartphone[HTTP::uri] }

 

 

If I'm doing something wrong here, please don't hesitate to let me know.
