iRule persitence on uri / payload
I am trying to set persistence using an iRule based on uri. The problem I think I might be having is related to the fact that the first uri that comes through does not contain the persistence string...

OK...
I'm not sure why your browser crashes and fails... What your doing doesn't seem (To me) to be bad... The first request doesn't get persisted... The second does... But it's apparently not a problem with persistence that causing your browser failure, because I'd expect that to exhibit as an unknown session for the second access (If the client was balanced to the wrong poolmember for example).
Myself, I usually always tend to use active cookies for persistence... I haven't yet seen an instance (For a browser) where it isn't possible to use a cookie... For other protocols, I've used various things. e.g. LDAP...
For the life of me I can't see why anything the iRUle does would crash your browser... If the browser crashes because of bad input, then it's a problem with the browser... That;s a bug in the browser pure & simple... (And usually indicative of a security vulerability... At the least a DOS vuln... If it can be exploited, then it's even worse).
What browser is it? If IE< does using firefox make a difference? What about chrome or Safari?
