NimbostratusFolks, I am looking for some iRule which will detect the kind of browser the request is coming from and then write some rules to handle this requests. I want to identify if the request is coming from a iPhone(any browser) or a normal desktop/laptop/other server(any browser).
Thanks, N.
MVPHi N.,
in the past I've used the snippet below to perform those kind of checks...
switch -glob -- [HTTP::header value "User-Agent"] "*iPhone*" - "*iPad*" - "*iPod*" - "*Opera M*" - "*Android*" - "*IEMobile*" - "*BlackBerry*" - "*Kindle*" {
Mobile Client
} "Mozilla*" - "Opera*" {
Browser
} default {
Unknown Client
}
Cheers, Kai
MVPHi N.,
the [switch -glob -- string1 string2 { action } ] command in the provided example is comparable with the [if { [HTTP::header value "User-Agent"] contains XYZ } then { action }] syntax. But its a little more elegant in this specific case...
The final integration into an iRules would look like that:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob -- [HTTP::header value "User-Agent"] "*iPhone*" - "*iPad*" - "*iPod*" - "*Opera M*" - "*Android*" - "*IEMobile*" - "*BlackBerry*" - "*Kindle*" {
Mobile Client
Place your additional code here
} "Mozilla*" - "Opera*" {
Browser
Place your additional code here
} default {
Unknown Client
Place your additional code here
}
}
Cheers, Kai
