iRules and HTTP classes

Hi Craig,

 

 

Can you post the current iRule code you're trying to replace with HTTP classes?

 

 

For a standard HTTP VIP with an HTTP class, I'd expect the following events to be triggered:

 

 

CLIENT_ACCEPTED - TCP connection from client to VIP established

 

HTTP_REQUEST - client's HTTP request headers parsed

 

HTTP_CLASS_SELECTED (if a matching class is found for a request) or HTTP_CLASS_FAILED (if no matching class is found for a request)

 

LB_SELECTED - pool member selected

 

SERVER_CONNECTED - TCP connection from LTM to server established

 

HTTP_REQUEST_SEND - just before the HTTP request is sent to the server

 

HTTP_RESPONSE - server's HTTP response headers parsed

 

SERVER_CLOSED - LTM to server connection closed

 

CLIENT_CLOSED - client to VIP connection closed

 

 

There are probably a lot of exceptions/additions to this, but I think that list covers the basics.

 

 

For details on the events, you can check the wiki page:
