Append http query with the value of a variable set in the iRule

Hi Friends,

 

Could anyone share an iRule to append the http query with a variable set in the beginning of the iRule. I am supposedly setting a variable with name appid and i want to append the http query with the value of appid.

 

Thanks Kiran

    Something like this?

    set appid "some_value"    

set url "http://www.example.com/path?appid=$appid"

    just another example.

    root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync Changes Pending)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm virtual bar
ltm virtual bar {
    destination 172.28.20.111:80
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    pool foo
    profiles {
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        myrule
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    source-address-translation {
        type automap
    }
    vs-index 4
}
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync Changes Pending)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm rule myrule
ltm rule myrule {
    when RULE_INIT {
  set static::appid "abc123"
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::query] ne "" } {
    set append_uri "&appid=$static::appid"
  } else {
    set append_uri "?appid=$static::appid"
  }
  HTTP::uri "[HTTP::uri]$append_uri"
}
}
