Dealing with iRule $variables for HTTP2 workload while HTTP MRF Router is enabled
- Feb 12, 2023
Hi Pete,
Somehow found the cause of the variable glitch an a final workaround for my problem.
If you set any local variables during the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event then the outlined strange variable beharior happens.
If you dont set any variable during the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event, then the HTTP_REQUEST event is able to pass variables to the SERVER_CONNECTED and SERVERSSL_* events and you can also pass variable out of those events to the HTTP_REQUEST_RELEASE event.
Looks like a very annoying bug. I would love to open a new case, but my MVP support contract just has become outdated.... 🤐
Cheers, Kai
So you asking for a fix that is making it even worse? I will most likely raise a bug report after your fix has been implemented....
For your Information: The [table] approach in my initial post depends on calling a [clientside] command during SERVER_CONNECTED. This command is unfortunately blocked by the iRule syntax checker, so that you have to wrap those commands into a [eval $cmd] dirty-hack. I will definately not recommend to use such hack in a production environment.
Cheers, Kai
No, I asked what the desired behavior is, and yes, the current situation is better than with the fix. I also want to use variables set in CLIENT_ACCEPT and HTTP_REQUEST in the SERVER_CONNECTED event.
