Chapter 3: Condition Reference

server_url=

Tests if a portion of the URL used in server connections matches the specified criteria. The basic server_url= test attempts to match the complete possibly-rewritten request URL against a specified pattern. The pattern may include the scheme, host, port, path and query components of the URL. If any of these is not included in the pattern, then the corresponding component of the URL is not tested and can have any value.

Specific portions of the URL can be tested by applying URL component modifiers to the trigger. In addition to component modifiers, optional test type modifiers can be used to change the way the pattern is matched.

Note: This set of tests match against the requested URL, taking into account the effect of any rewrite( ) actions. Because any rewrites of the URL intended for servers or other upstream devices must be respected by <Forward> layer policy, the url= triggers are not allowed in <Forward> layers. Instead, the equivalent set of server_url= tests are provided for use in the <Forward> layer. Those tests always take into account the effect of any rewrite( ) actions on the URL.

where all options are identical to url=, except for the URL being tested. For more information, see "url=" on page 137.

Discussion

The server_url= condition is identical to url=, except for the lack of a define server_url condition and [server_url] section. Most optimization in forwarding is done with server_url.domain conditions and sections.
