I am thinking reserved word for cookie name

I am trying to manipulate the expiration time of a cookie being sent from my web server (pretty sure its a session cokkie w/o an expriation time). However I am getting errors from the LTM.

 

 

the cookie name = PD-H-SESSION-ID

 

 

my irule =

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

if {[HTTP::cookie exists "PD-H-SESSION-ID"]} {

 

log local0. "I see PD-H-SESSION cookie"

 

HTTP::cookie expires PD-H-SESSION-ID 30 relative

 

}

 

}

 

 

my error in log =

 

 

irule-wildcard - Illegal argument (line 1) invoked from within "HTTP::cookie expires PD-H-SESSION-ID 30"

 

 

i tried double and single quotes for the cookie name

 

i tried using a variable to hold the cookie name

 

 

any ideas?

    Can you try curly braces? 

    
when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
 if {[HTTP::cookie exists "PD-H-SESSION-ID"]} {
  log local0. "I see PD-H-SESSION cookie" 
  HTTP::cookie expires {PD-H-SESSION-ID} 30 relative 
 } 
}

    Tried them all

     

     

    ( )

     

    [ ]

     

    { }

     

     

     

    All with the same error =

     

     

     

    Rule [irule-wildcard] error: line 1: [braces are required around the expression] [when HTTP_RESPONSE { if {[HTTP::cookie exists "PD-H-SESSION-ID"]} { log local0. "I see PD-H-SESSION cookie" HTTP::cookie expires (PD-H-SESSION-ID) 30 relative } }]

    I wonder if this is a bug in the version of LTM you're trying with HTTP::cookie expires. Which LTM version are you testing on?

    I just tested on 11.0 and 10.2.2 and both work as expected:

    
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
   log local0. "Inserting PD-H-SESSION-ID"
   HTTP::cookie insert name "PD-H-SESSION-ID" value test path "/"
   if {[HTTP::cookie exists "PD-H-SESSION-ID"]} {
      log local0. "Set-Cookie (pre): [HTTP::header values Set-Cookie]"
      HTTP::cookie expires {PD-H-SESSION-ID} 30 relative
      log local0. "Set-Cookie (post): [HTTP::header values Set-Cookie]"
   }
}

    And here's the log output:

    
< HTTP_RESPONSE>: Inserting PD-H-SESSION-ID
< HTTP_RESPONSE>: Set-Cookie (pre):  {PD-H-SESSION-ID=test;path=/;}
< HTTP_RESPONSE>: Set-Cookie (post): {PD-H-SESSION-ID=test;expires=Tue, 15-Nov-2011 03:10:02 GMT;path=/;}
