Cookie and URI irule not working?

Question

We have some ltms with 10.2 that will need to match on a cookie and uri irule logic and doesn't seem to be working properly.&nbsp;
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { ([class match [HTTP::cookie "UserInfo"] contains companyX]) and ( not [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/serviceb/")}
                  { pool SERVER1 }
} &nbsp;
I noticed that the cookie logic works fine by itself, but when I add the "and" logic it doesn't work. I'm wondering if my configuration is correct?&nbsp;

Probably need to move brackets around like below.&nbsp;
when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  if { ([class match [HTTP::cookie "UserInfo"] contains companyX]) and \ 
       not ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/serviceb/")} { 
    pool SERVER1 
  }
}

Just a tip, when posting iRules. Select your code and then press Tab. It will format it nicely for you 🙂&nbsp;

Thx for you response. Is the \ after the "and" a typo?&nbsp;
when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  if { ([class match [HTTP::cookie "UserInfo"] contains companyX]) and \ 
       not ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/serviceb/")} { 
    pool SERVER1 
  }
}&nbsp;

Take the \ out of the iRule.  I think Kevin meant that as an indicator that the statement was continued on the next line.

Another common use of backslash substitution is for line continuation: Continuing long commands on multiple lines. When a line ends with a backslash, the interpreter converts it and the newline following it and all whitespace at the beginning of the next line into a single space character, then evaluates the concatenated line as a single command:

The \ is a continuation character. If you put the following line back on the same line you don't need it.&nbsp;
iRules/TCL is a bit quirky though. Sometimes it likes it and sometimes.... if its throwing errors then remove it.&nbsp;
