irule not working

 

HI could someone tell me why this irule does not work?

 

I want to bypass the request

 

 

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales

 

 

www.pistonheads.com is in the bypass_url_datagroup

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[matchclass [HTTP::host] contains ::bypass_url_datagroup] && ([HTTP::uri] contains "/sales")} {

 

forward}

 

}

 

 

Thanks

 

 

It did work when I just had and tried www.pistonheads.com

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[matchclass [HTTP::host] contains ::bypass_url_datagroup]} {

 

forward}

 

}

 

 

 

Is there some way I can test irules ? i.e. an irule tested?

 

THanks

    What type of VIP are you testing this iRule on? Can you post an anonimized copy of the VIP using 'b virtual VIP_NAME list'?

     

     

    If the second version is working, the first version should as well.

     

     

    Thanks,

    Might be case sensitivity...

    In any case, best practice is to eliminate wherever it might be a factor, like this:
     
 if {[matchclass [string tolower [HTTP::host]] contains ::bypass_url_datagroup] \\ 
   && [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/sales"} {

    /d
