How to maintain Cookie persistence across web application with multiple ports (i.e. 80, 8443)

This may work:

        ltm rule badsoftware {
    when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
  if { [IP::port [IP::client_port] equals 80] } {
    switch [TCP::client_port] {
      x {
        node server_80
        persist cookie cookie5678
      }
      default {
         Sends traffic to server5678
      }
    }
  } elseif { [IP::port [IP::client_port] equals 1234] } {
    switch [TCP::client_port] {
      x {
        node node1234
        persistence cookie cookie1234
      }
      default {
         maintain cookie persiste
      }
    }
  } else {
     Do Nothing special, just serve traffic
  }
}
}
