Typecasting Operations

Operation	Description
text.TYPECAST_	Treats the text as a name-value list. The separator argument
NVLIST_T(separator, identifies the character and separates the name and the value.
delimiter)	The delimiter argument identifies the character that separates
or	each name-value pair. The quote character is required when
	typecasting text into a name-value list that supports quoted
text.TYPECAST_	strings. Any delimiters that appear within the quoted string
	are ignored.
NVLIST_T(separator,
delimiter, quote)	The text mode has no effect on the delimiters. For example,
	if the current text mode is IGNORECASE and you specify
	“p” as the delimiter, an uppercase “P” is not treated as a
	delimiter.
	For example, the following policy counts the number of
	name-value pairs and inserts the result in a header named
	name-value-count:
	add rewrite action mycount_action insert_
	http_header name-value-count
	'http.req.header("Cookie").typecast_nvlist_
	t('=',';').count'
	set rewrite policy mycount_policy -action
	mycount_action
	This policy can extract a count of arguments in
	Cookie headers and insert the count in a name-
	value-count header:
	Cookie: name=name1; rank=rank1

text.TYPECAST_TIME_T Treats the designated text as a date string. The following formats are supported:

•RFC822: Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT

•RFC850: Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT

•ASCII TIME: Sun Nov 6 08:49:37 1994

•HTTP Set-Cookie Expiry date: Sun, 06-Nov- 1994 08:49:37 GMT

For example, the following policy searches for the string “dec” and converts it to a time value. This policy matches all requests that contain “dec” in the request body:

Add rewrite policy mytime_policy "http.req.body(100).typecast_time_ t.contains("dec")" mytime_action

bind rewrite global mytime_policy 100
