Hey Kevin,

 

Thanks a lot this is exactly what I needed ! I created my iRule on our test F5 and all is working fine. Live deloyment is scheduled for tomorrow.

 

I do get the warning HTML content on the first visit. If I try again, then the message is no longer displayed and I can see a cookie in my temp internet files. Indeed my HTML page contains a link to the site so the user can go back ot the application.

 

Just as a comment if someone else is going to reuse this, do not forget that double-quote " is not allowed between the tags. So replace all " with a single quote ' in your HTML code.

 

Thanks again Kevin and have a nice day
