Cookie/iRule to send Session terminate?
Hey Folks,
We discovered that existing sessions to our web application persist when our maintenance page is applied (by applying an iRule). The result is that they can still navigate and play content during a maintenance window.
I'm experimenting with the "action on service down" and cronjob activated commands to place the m-page, force offline pool members with one command, bring the pool members back up a minute later but leave the m-page up until completed. This sort of works but only for site navigation. The very next thing that a user will click will force them to the m-page which is fine but 9 times out of 10 a user will be watching video content which is coming from content servers, not the fe/be servers that are in maintenance.
Is there something I can do with an iRule that sends a command across existing connections that will tell the client's browser to terminate all their content connections as well?
Applying a m-page to our content servers wouldn't work since most people will be hitting Fastly servers.
Kind Regards,
Chuck
