AltostratusHow to access an LTM Policy variable from an iRule ?
Hello, I'm trying to set a variable in an LTM Policy like this: But then: how can I access this variable from an iRule ? The only information I find on support site/devcentral is: "...
First, the assignment needs to be [HTTP::method]
Your irule just needs to reference the connection variable that you assigned in the policy
when HTTP_REQUEST { log local0. "$policy_http_method" }

AltostratusOK, my bad, I found it... of course I had to put the logging policy rule on top in the policy list !
It's working now, thanks ! :)

Great - and yes - you need to shift anything from the HTTP:: object into variables before you trigger any HTTP:: redirection/respond.
Basically, once you have used HTTP::redirect/respond (or the LTM policy equivalents), the entire HTTP:: object is invalidated, and cannot be accessed (apart from HTTP::has_responded)
