Nov 21, 2006Find non http traffic on http port
Hi,
Just wondering. How can I identify non http traffic on a http-port (80).
Situation: we have a vip that does load balancing for transparent caching. Some applications (like skype) can use port 80 to communicate. I have a irule in place that check whether a http-request is submitted. When the pool is down the traffic gets forwarded to the next hop. Now I want to add the ability to check if non http-traffic is send on the http-port. If so i want to forward it.
Any ideas?
Marcel.

Checking the HTTP::header information inside the HTTP_REQUEST event should be enough to quickly tell you if you're getting a valid HTTP request or some other traffic over port 80.
