So you want to replace whatever status code the new pool member sets with a 503?

 

 

HTTP::status (Click here) can only be used to get (not set) the status of the response. So to "change" the status you could need to send your own response using HTTP::respond (Click here) . It's fairly simple if you can send your own response content. Or if you need to leave the response data from the server intact, you'd need to collect the payload for the specific responses and then use HTTP::respond to send a 503 response with the original payload. You can check the HTTP::collect wiki page (Click here) for examples.
