CSS to F5 url redirect

We are migrating from CSS to F5s v10.0.0.

 

The CSS has two VIPs same IP and port one is a default url "/a*" and other url is "/connected window*" that goes to same server

 

 

I was reading the forum and found that I need to creat iRule for this, let me know if this is the correct translation.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

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

 

pool connect_pool

 

}

 

}

 

 

is there a better way to write this or will this even work?

 

 

here is sample from CSS:

 

 

content beta.pa

 

vip address 1.1.1.1

 

add service ABCserver

 

protocol tcp

 

port 80

 

url "/a*"

 

active

 

content beta_conn.pa

 

vip address 1.1.1.1

 

add service ABCserver

 

protocol tcp

 

port 80

 

url "/connectedwindow*"

 

active

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

    /a* with string matching equates to

    [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/a"

    You could also use:

    [string match "/a*" [HTTP::uri]]

    Similarly, /connectedwindow* equates to:

    [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/connectedwindow"

    or:

    [string match "/connectedwindow*" [HTTP::uri]]

    You could also use a switch statement with glob style wildcard matching: 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Check requested URI 
    switch -glob [HTTP::uri] { 
  
       "/a*" { 
          pool a_pool 
       } 
       "/connectedwindow*" { 
          pool connect_pool 
       } 
       default { 
           Take some default action? 
       } 
    } 
 }

    Thanks Aaron for the quick reply, I will use glob style wildcard matching, we don't have any default action. Can I just use like you recommended.

     

     

    I will do the test and let you know.

     

     

    Thanks again
