Add to LTM Policies with iControl REST

Currently we have a LTM policy that handles our path-based routing for one of our virtual servers. We modify it with a tmsh command, but we're looking to move it over to an iControl REST call. I'm pretty familiar with the REST interface but for the life of me I can't seem to get the request correct. Here is the command we are trying to replicate:

tmsh modify ltm policy policy_https_pool_selector rules add { foo { actions replace-all-with { 0 { forward select pool pool_foo } 1 { server-ssl disable } } conditions replace-all-with { 0 { http-uri path starts-with values { /foo} } } } }

I know it needs to be a PUT call to the policy itself to add this rule, but again I can't seem to get the format correct. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, you need to POST your new rule to /mgmt/tm/ltm/policy/policy_https_pool_selector/rules

     

    your need to increment the rule ordinal parameter.

     

    here is a payload example which complement a policy created with your command line :

     

    {
            "name" : "foo2",
            "ordinal" : 1,
            "actionsReference" : {
                "items" : [{
                        "name" : "0",
                        "code" : 0,
                        "forward" : true,
                        "pool" : "/Common/pool_foo",
                        "port" : 0,
                        "request" : true,
                        "select" : true,
                        "status" : 0,
                        "vlanId" : 0
                    }, {

                        "name" : "1",
                        "generation" : 4532,
                        "code" : 0,
                        "disable" : true,
                        "port" : 0,
                        "request" : true,
                        "serverSsl" : true,
                        "status" : 0,
                        "vlanId" : 0
                    }
                ]
            },
            "conditionsReference" : {
                "items" : [{

                        "name" : "0",
                        "caseInsensitive" : true,
                        "external" : true,
                        "httpUri" : true,
                        "index" : 0,
                        "path" : true,
                        "present" : true,
                        "remote" : true,
                        "request" : true,
                        "startsWith" : true,
                        "values" : ["/foo"]
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
