Hi,

 

two ideas come to my mind:

 

1) is it feasible to use cookies for session persistence, as you just use http?

 

2) basically you can create and insert a custom http header with an iRule. You could insert the client IP or a random number with "HTTP::header insert " and write it into the header with: [HTTP::header

 

cheers, wizz

    Thank you all for your inputs ,, really valuable ,, So, couple of things I would like to confirm: - Would "HTTP::header insertion" method be applicable for HTTP and alt-HTTP services; i.e 80, 8080, 8000, etc. - Whether this HTTP insertion would be overridden by any web server ? or it will be there for the whole session. - Provide an iRule example; one to insert a random number, and the other to match that random number. - Is there any other idea that would be applicable for HTTPS ? personally I don't think so. Thanks & BR, Aziz
