Hi Eric,
Matching a regexp on HTTP::cookie should be a trivial exercise. There's a nice example here where a Class of regex strings was created and the iRule runs a foreach loop to parse each entry:

There's nothing intrinsically special about HTTP::cookie. You can match and manipulate the content of this field in much the same way you can match any TCL var. If you want to just match anything with 'test' don't forget the "contains" criterion.
Check out this page https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/irules-101-10-regular-expressions and heed the examples and warnings.
Hi Eric,
you can't use wildcards in combination with the
command. But you may use either one of these coding techniques...[HTTP::cookie exists]
foreach cookie_name [HTTP::cookie names] { if { $cookie_name contains ".test" } then { reject break } }
... or even using the
list as a whole...[cookie names]
if { [HTTP::cookie names] contains ".test" } then { reject }
Cheers, Kai

Thank you very much, zeiss and Kai. Would this be the correct reverse on the above then?
foreach cookie_name [HTTP::cookie names] { if { $cookie_name ! contains ".test" } then { reject break } }
... or even using the [cookie names] list as a whole...
if { ! [HTTP::cookie names] contains ".test" } then { reject }
- I'd prefer "if { not ( [HTTP::cookie names] contains ".test" ) } then { reject }" Cheers, Kai
