inserting X-Origin-Host heade when using catch command

iRule's purpose:

 

rewrite some URIs to /

 

rewrite some hosts to start with www

 

send some URIs to my non-default pool but putting them in a data-group like "foo" := "foopool",

 

My problem: If my last if statement matches I would like to insert an X-Origin-Host header like so:

 

 

HTTP::header insert lws X-Origin-Host "[HTTP::host]"I know how to do this if I set a variable then add once my pool is selected, but I can't figure out how to do it using catch. Any help is appreciated!

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[ class match -value [string toupper [HTTP::uri]] starts_with WWW-PREIMP.FOO.CA-URIREDIR] ne "" } {

 

HTTP::uri "/"

 

}

 

if {

 

[catch {[class match -value [string toupper [HTTP::host]] starts_with WWW-PREIMP.FOO.CA-PATHREDIR] } ]

 

} {

 

HTTP::respond 301 Location "]"

 

}

 

if {

 

[catch { pool [class match -value [string toupper [HTTP::uri]] starts_with FOO.CA-REDIR] } ]

 

} {

 

pool WWW-PREIMP.FOO.CA

 

}

 

}

 

 

Thanks!

    Hi Troy,

    So you're trying to use catch to handle errors when inserting the header? How about something like this: 

    
if {[HTTP::host] ne ""}{
   catch {HTTP::header insert lws X-Origin-Host "[HTTP::host]"}
}
