HTTP 404 ERROR HANDLING through IRULE

Hi Jason Rahm ,

I have re-written my irule using some variable for flexible matching :

Here is irule that i am using :

when HTTP_REQUEST {

set host [string tolower [HTTP::host]]

set uri [HTTP::uri]

if {$host equals "xyz.apac.com."} {

set context [getfield $uri "/" 2]

if {($context ne "archiacserver") and ($context ne "archiacportal") and ($context ne "archiac")} {

HTTP::respond 404 content {Page Not Found Page Not Found}

} elseif { ($uri starts_with "/archiacserver")} {

HTTP::uri [string map {"/archiacserver" "/archiac"} [HTTP::uri]

HTTP::redirect "https://$host[HTTP::uri]"

pool PL_BNE_ENT_6443

return

} elseif {$uri starts_with "/archiac"} {

pool PL_BNE_ENT_6443

}elseif {$uri starts_with "/archiacportal"} {

pool PL_BNE_ENT_archiacportal_443

return

}

}

}

SO below are GOOD matching :

www.xyz.apac.com/archiacserver

www.xyz.apac.com/archiacserver/

www.xyz.apac.com/archiacserver/abcde/efgh

www.xyz.apac.com/archiacportal

BAD MATCH

www.xyz.apac.com/dhghasgharchiacserver

www.xyz.apac.com/ARCHIACSERVER

www.xyz.apac.com/archiacserveradjefjaehfje

www.xyz.apac.com/archiacserver)*)*)*)*)*)

www.xyz.apac.com/archiacPORTAL

www.xyz.apac.com/ARCCHIACPORTALjdfbjdsfjasd

etc etc

SO my code work fine with testing and loading the APP through LB and also now looks like error handling works fine . . But i am seeing some issues with session kick out .

For example if i try to load www.xyz.apac.com/archiacserver/admin/login , this works fine .Page load up with username and password and work perfectly .

But if i hover to some tab after logged in and click , the session times out and ask for a re-login .

we are not doing any Load balancing , simply sending the traffic to pool and my pool is configured with ACTIVE/STANDBY nodes using priority group .< 1 with one node being on 10 and other on 5 .

So no cookie persistence needed .

ANy suggestions ?? something wrong with my irule ?

No session kick out when i hit the node directly .

Thanks
