Auth_Status and Persist

At this point, i want the next or any future HTTP_REQUEST to persist on poolK from this client (because i am already authorized), but instead it is falling back to default PoolF and breaking my page because /nad is not in the uri? in HTTP_REQUEST, may we check if bigip cookie exists? if yes, we just direct request to PoolK. anyway, since you modify response using HTTP::respond, you may have to include bigip cookie in the response.

e.g.

[root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   pool PoolF
   destination 172.28.19.252:80
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
   persist cookie
   profiles {
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b pool PoolF list
pool PoolF {
   members 200.200.200.101:80 {}
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b pool PoolK list
pool PoolK {
   members {
      200.200.200.101:80 {}
      200.200.200.111:80 {}
   }
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
  set host [HTTP::host]
  set uri [HTTP::uri]
  set ckkval [HTTP::cookie value BIGipServerPoolK]
  set ckfval [HTTP::cookie value BIGipServerPoolF]
  if { $uri contains "/nad" or [HTTP::cookie exists BIGipServerPoolK] } {
    pool PoolK
  }
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
  log local0. "host: $host uri: $uri cookie: BIGipServerPoolK=$ckkval BIGipServerPoolF=$ckfval pool: [LB::server pool] node: [LB::server addr] status: [HTTP::status]"
  if { [HTTP::status] == 404 and [LB::server pool] equals "PoolK" } {
    HTTP::respond 302 noserver Location "http://$host" "Set-Cookie" "BIGipServer[LB::server pool]=[HTTP::cookie BIGipServer[LB::server pool]]; path=/"
  }
}
}

 test

[root@ve10:Active] config  tail -f /var/log/ltm
