VPN and Clientless VPN Expression Prefixes that Return Text

VPN and Clientless VPN	Description
Expression

VPN.CLIENTLESS_BASEURL.	Evaluates the domain name part of the host name.
HOSTNAME.DOMAIN	For example, if the host name is www.
	mycompany.com or www.mycompany.com:8080,
	the domain is mycompany.com.
	This operation returns incorrect results if the host
	name is an IP address. For information on
	expressions for IP addresses, see “Advanced
	Expressions: IP and MAC Addresses,
	Throughput, VLAN IDs,” on page 149.
	All text operations after this prefix are case
	insensitive.
VPN.CLIENTLESS_BASEURL.	Returns a Boolean TRUE if the host name matches
HOSTNAME.EQ("hostname")	hostname.
	For example, if the host name is www.
	mycompany.com or www.mycompany.com:8080,
	the following is true:
	vpn.clientless_baseurl. hostname.
	eq("www.mycompany.com")
	The comparison is case insensitive. If the textmode
	is URLENCODED, the host name is decoded
	before comparison. For more information, see
	“Operations for HTTP, HTML, and XML
	Encoding and “Safe” Characters,” on page 131.

VPN.CLIENTLESS_BASEURL.	Evaluates the server part of a host name.
HOSTNAME.SERVER	For example, if the host name is www.
	mycompany.com or www.mycompany.com:8080,
	the server is www.mycompany.com.
	All text operations after this prefix are case
	insensitive.
VPN.CLIENTLESS_BASEURL.PATH	Evaluates a slash- (/) separated list in the URL
	path.
	For example, this prefix selects /a/b/c/mypage.html
	from the following URL:
	http://www.mycompany.com/a/b/c/mypage.
	html?a=1
	The following expression selects “a” from the
	preceding URL:
	http.req.url.path.get(1)
	For more information on the GET operation, see
	“Expressions for Extracting Segments of URLs,”
	on page 129.
