Determine If Client Can Accept Cookies

Our applications require cookies be enabled and thus our application performs checks to determine if a client can accept cookies. The process and code is slow and performs horribly.

 

 

Is it possible to use an iRule to determine if a client can accept cookies and based on the response send them to either POOLA or POOLB? Is anybody doing anything similar to this?

 

 

Thanks Again

    Basically you'd use an iRule for that.

     

     

    You can't query the client directly, but you could condition your pool selection on the User-Agent value or the presence (or lack) of Cookie headers in the initial request.
