thanx

- Chris_MillerAltostratusThe wiki is your best friend...for this rule, we'll use subsets of the "HTTP::" command
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/folder" } { HTTP::cookie insert "name" value "value" } }

Would it be like "www.sample.com/test" ?
Try "HTTP::cookie insert name "NewCookie" value "test" path /"
The cookie belongs to whatever domain you're accessing. In my example, it would be for "www.sample.com"
- Chris_MillerAltostratusI just had a total brain-fart. We need to do cookie insert in the response event.
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/folder" } { set cinsert 1 } else { set cinsert 0 }} when HTTP_RESPONSE { if { $cinsert eq 1 } { HTTP::cookie insert "name" value "value" path / }}
- Andrea_ArquintNimbostratusI do the same you explained...
when HTTP_REQUEST {
set uagent [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]]switch -glob [HTTP::host] {www.testdom.com {if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/test" } {HTTP::cookie insert name "ClassicView" value "mobile" path /} else {log local0. "no cookie set"}}unset uagent}
But the cookie is not set ???
- Andrea_ArquintNimbostratusHi Chris
okay I got it...
I have to do the following:
1. when HTTP_REQUEST
- matches any request conditions
If the request condition matches
2. when HTTP_RESPONSE
- set cookie
ahh and you check with the variable cinsert that the RESPONSE works even if the condtition matches right?
Do you have an example somewhere?
Kind regards

The example above your post should work. I can modify yours as well.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
set uagent [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]]
switch -glob [HTTP::host] {
if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/test" } {
set cinsert 1
} else {
set cinsert 0
log local0. "no cookie set"
}
}
unset uagent
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
if { $cinsert eq 1 } {
HTTP::cookie insert name "ClassicView" value "mobile" path / }}
May I ask how you're using the uagent variable here? Is it for something separate from the cookie logic?
- Andrea_ArquintNimbostratusHi Chris
Yes it is for something separated. Because we want also integrate in this iRule mobile device detection.
Ok I will try your steps...
- Andrea_ArquintNimbostratusThe cookie is set but I get following ltm error:
- Andrea_ArquintNimbostratusahh okay I see...
