inspect start of payload

Sorry for the threadjacking, but thanks Mike for the alternate link. It looks like you fixed the standard page as well. That's a novel rule. Thanks for posting it.

 

 

I think you could potentially use a meta-refresh (which doesn't depend on javascript and shouldn't affect CPU usage on the client) to automatically have the client automatically retry the request. Here is a simple proof of concept for the meta-refresh:

 

 

[code]

 

when RULE_INIT {

 

 

Trigger a meta-refresh every X seconds

 

set ::refresh_interval 30

 

 

HTML content containing meta-refresh to the same requested host/uri

 

set ::html_response_string "

 

 

 

Retrying...

 

 

 

 

Meta-refresh to http://\[HTTP::host\]\[HTTP::uri\] in $::refresh_interval seconds

 

 

 

"

 

}

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

 

if {[HTTP::path] starts_with "/meta"}{

 

 

log local0. "response string: [subst $::html_response_string]"

 

HTTP::respond 200 content [subst $::html_response_string]

 

 

} else {

 

HTTP::respond 200 content "\r\n200\tClient IP:port: [IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]\

 

-> VIP IP:port: [IP::local_addr]:[TCP::local_port]\r\n"

 

}

 

}

 

[/code]
