http redirect - where's the payload

Hi,   I'm sure this will end up proving to be really simple for you (I seem to be failing to manage the search facility with much success (i.e., I have tried searching for tips / solution)). ...

Hi Morkeski,

This is expected. When an HTTP client receives a redirect, it will send a GET request to the new location. The client will not make a POST request and will not do anything with any previous POST data.

Does someservername.xxx resolve to the VIP? If so, instead of redirecting the client, you could rewrite the URI: 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if {[string tolower [HTTP::path]] eq "/default.asp"}{ 
       HTTP::uri "/serverServer/XMLservice/Receiver.aspx" 
    } 
 }

If this isn't the case, can you elaborate on the scenario?
