HTTP::uri logging misleading

When logging the HTTP::uri you will find that after manipulation of the string the HTTP::uri remains the same. HTTP::uri logging does not update the value of HTTP::uri after the action is executed. It simply remembers the initial entry HTTP::uri value.

 

 

 

Why?
application delivery
dev
devops
iRules

    For performance reasons, the values for most HTTP:: commands are cached within the same event and priority. See this post for details:

     

     

    Manipulate a HTTP:path then continue to parse iRule
