Basic HTTP redirect question on LB pool

this is the actual code :

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

set uri [HTTP::uri]

 

 

if { $uri contains "acces" } {

 

 

pool bea_pool$uri

 

 

} elseif { $uri contains "aide" } {

 

 

HTTP::redirect "http://10.172.155.201/$uri"

 

}

 

 

}

Well, there is nothing that would otherwise prevent that from working. However, I'm not entirely sure that it accomplishes what you want. I think you may be better off using a Cookie to save the context across requests. For example:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
   set add_cookie ""
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [HTTP::cookie exists "MyCookie"] } {
       MyCookie contains the original pool used
      pool bea_pool
   } else {
       This must be the first access
      if { [HTTP::uri] contains "acces" } {
         pool bea_pool
         set add_cookie bea_pool
      } elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "aide" } {
         HTTP::redirect "http://10.172.155.201/[HTTP::uri]"
      } else {
          What should happen here?
          Is there a default pool on the VS that
          will be used if none is specified here?
      }
   }
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
   if { $add_cookie ne "" } {
      HTTP::cookie insert name "MyCookie" value $add_cookie
      set add_cookie ""
   }
}

this what i get.. i did not dig yet but maybe you can help me.

elseif instead of else if seems to have fix it..thanks

once i associate rule (persistence) to virtual server i get this:

 

 

 

01070394:3: HTTP_REQUEST event in rule (persistence) requires an associated HTTP or FASTHTTP profile on the virtual server (Redir_https).

i associated with default http profile..big ip is taking the config but it s still not working ....at some point traffic seems to fall on other node and auth page is represented..

it seems like something ends the session without it being over...

Does this happen without the rule on the virtual?

we where succesfull applying persistence without using irule?? question what s the difference between using weblogiccookie or just plain cookie?

That's a really good question! -> Perhaps to save one less cookie???

 

 

I'll have to think about this, as I don't have a good answer right now...
