Problem with b64decode lindex in Version 10.2.1

Hello,

 

 

I would like to send a sorry page when all pool members are down. I found a solution contributed by citizen_elah .

 

 

1. Generate base64 encoded file from a screen shot .

 

2. Remove the newlines from the file

 

3. Copy the file to /var/class/

 

4. Create a DataGroup Extern File Type String , Mode ReadOnly (Version 10)

 

5. Apply the rule to the virtual server

 

 

Anything is working fine in version 9.4.7 but not in version 10.2.1 Hotfix-3.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[active_members myPool] == 0} {

 

HTTP::respond 200 content [b64decode [lindex $::sorrypage_class 0]] "Content-Type" "image/png" }

 

}

 

}

 

 

In Version 10 I tried to access the lindex with $:: and without both was not working.

 

 

In Version 10.2.1 I always got the error message:

 

TEST_maintenance_site - conversion error invoked from within "b64decode [lindex sorrypage 0]"

 

 

I also tried to decode the file at rule init.

 

when RULE_INIT { log local0. "[b64decode [lindex test_base64 0]]" }

 

 

Produced this error: local/tmm err tmm[4831]: 01220001:3: TCL error: Test_base64_File - conversion error invoked from within "b64decode [lindex $::test_base64 0]" Encoding and decoding under linux with base64 works fine.

 

 

Any idea how to solve this ?

 

 

Thanks.
