Redirect Based on Content

 

Hello all. Hope you can help. Not new to f5 but new to writing my own iRules.

 

 

Scenario: I want to redirect a user to an error page if a certain line of text is returned in the html body. If a user crafts a certain GET request the returned page may include the following error "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error 'xxxxx'" It may also return the SQL table that was queried. I want to stop this information being relayed to the user. I've tried to come up with an iRule below but it's not working - it's not even being triggered from what I can see (or can't see) in the logs. Am I over-complicating things or have I not understood something? I've tried to use the extensive examples on Devcentral and that's why I've come up with the below code.

 

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

 

Default amount of request payload to collect (in bytes)

 

set collect_length 2048

 

 

Check for a non-existent Content-Length header

 

if {[HTTP::header Content-Length] eq ""}{

 

 

Use default collect length of 2k for POSTs without a Content-Length header

 

set collect_length $collect_length

 

 

} elseif {[HTTP::header Content-Length] == 0}{

 

 

Don't try collect a payload if there isn't one

 

unset collect_length

 

 

} elseif {[HTTP::header Content-Length] > $collect_length}{

 

 

Use default collect length

 

set collect_length $collect_length

 

 

} else {

 

 

Collect the actual payload length

 

set collect_length [HTTP::header Content-Length]

 

 

}

 

 

If the POST Content-Length isn't 0, collect (a portion of) the payload

 

if {[info exists collect_length]}{

 

 

Trigger collection of the request payload

 

HTTP::collect $collect_length

 

}

 

}

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA {

 

look for SQL Server Provider Error msgs

 

if { [HTTP::payload] contains "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error"} {

 

log local0. "found OLE DB Error in response"

 

HTTP::redirect http://www.domain.com/error.asp

 

 

}

 

 

}

    is response encoded or does it span multiple packet?

    Nitass

     

     

    Thanks for prompt response. Transfer-encoding: chunked.

     

     

    Is this what you meant? When I do a curl and test the url I don't get any body back - just a ">" prompt.

    yes, can you try to force server to http 1.0?

    Thanks Nitass

     

     

    This works:

     

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

     

    Don't allow data to be chunked

     

    if { [HTTP::version] eq "1.1" } {

     

    if { [HTTP::header is_keepalive] } {

     

    HTTP::header replace "Connection" "Keep-Alive"

     

    }

     

    HTTP::version "1.0"

     

    }

     

    }

     

    when HTTP_RESPONSE {

     

    Get the content length so we can request the data to be

     

    processed in the HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA event.

     

    if { [HTTP::header exists "Content-Length"] && [HTTP::header "Content-Length"] < 1048577 } {

     

    set content_length [HTTP::header "Content-Length"]

     

    } else {

     

    set content_length 1048576

     

    }

     

    log local0.info "Content Length: $content_length"

     

    if { $content_length > 0 } {

     

    HTTP::collect $content_length

     

    }

     

    }

     

    when HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA {

     

    if { [HTTP::payload] contains "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error"}{

     

    log local0. "found OLE DB Error in response"

     

    HTTP::redirect http://www.domain.com/error.asp

     

    }

     

    HTTP::release

     

    }

     

     

    Your guidance has been much appreciated.
