Exclude specific cookie from set_cookie_header iRule

We currently apply "Secure" and "HttpOnly" via the iRule below. We now need to exclude any cookie that starts with "XSRF-TOKEN" from the "HttpOnly" portion of this iRule. Any help in syntax would be appreciated!

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE { set unsafe_cookie_headers [HTTP::header values "Set-Cookie"] HTTP::header remove "Set-Cookie" foreach set_cookie_header $unsafe_cookie_headers { HTTP::header insert "Set-Cookie" "${set_cookie_header}; Secure; HttpOnly" } }

  • Try this... HTTP::cookie secure should return "enable" if it's been set according to the Wiki but I've not tested the output myself

    https://devcentral.f5.com/Wiki/iRules.HTTP__cookie.ashx

     when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
      set unsafe_cookie_headers [HTTP::header values "Set-Cookie"] 
    
      if { not ([string tolower [HTTP::cookie value]] starts_with "XSRF-TOKEN") && ([HTTP::cookie secure] eq "enable" )} {
        HTTP::header remove "Set-Cookie" 
          foreach set_cookie_header $unsafe_cookie_headers { 
            HTTP::header insert "Set-Cookie" "${set_cookie_header}; Secure; HttpOnly" 
        } else {
            return       
          }
        }
      }
    
  • Thank you again for your assistance, very much appreciated!! We were able to get it to work with a few tweaks.

    when HTTP_RESPONSE {
        set unsafe_cookie_headers [HTTP::header values "Set-Cookie"]
            HTTP::header remove "Set-Cookie"
    
            foreach set_cookie_header $unsafe_cookie_headers {
        if { $set_cookie_header starts_with "XSRF-TOKEN"} then { 
            HTTP::header insert "Set-Cookie" "${set_cookie_header}; Secure"
        } else {
            HTTP::header insert "Set-Cookie" "${set_cookie_header}; Secure; HttpOnly"
            }
        }
    }
