add cookie in http response after 302 redirect

Hi,

 

 

it is strange. The BIGIP should insert the cookie persistence even on redirect ...

 

 

i did a test and i confirmed it:

 

 

GET / HTTP/1.1

 

Host: www.google.com

 

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12

I think you may have an issue where the cookie is not stored correctly within your browser because the hostname of the website is not a FQDN. If you want to check the bigip insert correctly its persistence cookie within the http redirect you can do the following :

 

 

Could you try something like this:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

set request [HTTP::request]

 

}

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

loop through each of the cookies in the response

 

if {[HTTP::cookie count] > 0 } {

 

foreach aCookie [HTTP::cookie names] {

 

if the current cookie matches the format for the persistence cookie, modify it

 

if { $aCookie contains "BIGipServer"} {

 

set the domain attribute on the persistence cookie

 

log local0. "HTTP request: $resquest"

 

log local0. "HTTP cookie: [HTTP::cookie $aCookie]"

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

If you changed the cookie persistence name, please update the line $aCookie contains "BIGipServer"

 

 

Once this iRule is assigned to your VS, check your /var/log/ltm to see if it is inserted within your expected answer
