F5 APM redirect when the URI contains a # (hashtag) / URI fragmentation

Hi All,

I thought I would share my solution to this problem. First iRule to capture the initial request without an authenticated session. This will throw back a simple javascript to the client and encode the URI which will replace the to %23 and will submit it again.

if { ( [HTTP::uri] equals "ENTRYPOINT" ) and ( ! [ ACCESS::session exists -state_allow -sid [HTTP::cookie MRHSession] ] ) } {
     Respond with the 200
    HTTP::respond 200 content "
    
    
    "
}

The second part is to capture this URI and decode it back than update the landinguri in the access session.

when ACCESS_SESSION_STARTED {
if { [HTTP::uri] contains "%23" } {
    set tmpURI [HTTP::uri]
    ACCESS::session data set session.server.landinguri [URI::decode $tmpURI]
    }
}

This solution seems to work for us. But please let me know if anybody has any better idea. Thanks
