HTTP::cookie insert name 1cookie value 2 path "/" domain $domain

Hi,dear irule

 

when HTTP::request

 

{set domain [domain [HTTP::host] 2]}

 

 

when HTTP::response

 

{

 

HTTP::cookie insert name 1_cookie value "2" path "/" domain $domain

 

 

}

 

 

with this irule,we suppose hostname is www.srwd18.com

 

I send request to VIP

 

and the situation is:

 

first :broswer received cookie 1_cookie from bigip and domain is "www.srwd18.com"(why isn't is srwd18.com)

 

second:I continue to open page in broswer,it send this 1_cookie to vip now with domain ".srwd18.com"

 

 

why?

 

I am confused

 

I check this via http fox on firefox

    Hi Jucao,

     

     

    The domain on cookies should start with a leading period. Can you change this line and retest:

     

     

    set domain ".[domain [HTTP::host] 2]"

    Hi,thanks,Aaron

     

    even I change it to .[domain [HTTP::host]2]

     

    the phenomenon is the same as before

     

     

    receive cookie with domain www.srwd18.com

     

    then send cookie with domain .srwd18.com

    Just some basic checks, clear browser cookies between tests or it will re-present a cookie from before. In the incoming response from the F5 is it presenting one 1_cookie or two. If you have a persistence profile assigned to the VIP you may be doubling up on cookies.

    Can you try testing with curl on LTM to see if the cookie is being set correctly? You can use something like this:

     

     

    curl -v http://1.1.1.1/file.ext -H "Host: www.example.com"

     

     

    You can check the Set-Cookie header in the response to see if the cookie is being set. If that works, then I'd try opening a case with F5 Support and ask them to review your HttpFox logs.

    Hi,Aaron

     

    BTW:can you tell me how to check cookie which is send via curl command

     

     

    I want to check if I receive "< Set-Cookie: BigipABurl_cookie=2;path=/;domain=srwd18.com;",which cookie will be sent(this cookie is session based)

     

    yes,via curl,if I set domain ".[domain [HTTP::host] 2]",it will receive "< Set-Cookie: BigipABurl_cookie=2;path=/;domain=.srwd18.com;"

     

    if I set domain "[domain [HTTP::host] 2]" ,it will receive "< Set-Cookie: BigipABurl_cookie=2;path=/;domain=srwd18.com;"

     

    it seems there are some problem in http fox

    OK,the problem is when you check cookie tab on http fox of Firefox,you will see www.srwd18.com,but in the“header” tab,it is still "srwd18.com " or ".srwd18.com"

     

    I want to know whether "srwd18.com" affect the fuction of this cookie,it seems it can send this cookie to xxx.srwd18.com
