Condition Syntax
A condition has the following form:
trigger=pattern-expression
A trigger is the name of a condition variable. It can be simple, such as
url
, or it can contain sub-object
specifiers and modifiers, as in
url.path.case_sensitive
or
request.header.Cookie
.
A trigger
cannot contain white space.
A pattern expression can be either:
•
A simple pattern, which is matched against the trigger value.
•
A Boolean combination of simple patterns, or a parenthesized, comma-separated list of simple
patterns.
patterns.
A pattern expression can be any of the following:
•
String: A string argument must be quoted if it contains whitespace or other special characters. An
example condition expression is
