Hi All,
I've been search for a solution to this on and off for the last couple of weeks, and haven't been able to find anything so far, so I thought I might post here... bear with me as...
Hi Dave,
In theory HTTP::path parses the path of the URI. In actuality, I think it returns what ever is in the URI up to the first question mark. Yes, RFC2616 states you can use an absolute URL in the request line, but almost no clients do this. I think the most common scenario this is seen is with HTTP proxies.
Here is a post where we discussed some options for handling this in an iRule:

So should LTM check every request to see if the request line is absolute or relative? Maybe? If you think the current behavior is broken/could be improved, you could open a case with F5 through their support group.
