LTM Policy http-reply issue

Hi, We are trying to migrate to v12 and we are facing a problem about the SOL14996 that is working fine in v11.6: Even setting the host part as static, we can't see the [HTTP::uri] being replaced...

I was not aware that there is another option to do a redirection, next to the build in iRule "_sys_https_redirect". We are using this iRule since 11.5 (and also on our 12.1.1 testing machines).

 

So here's my question: Why not using this iRule? Are there any downsides in iRules compared to a policy solution? I mean, the code is basically the same, but adding an iRule takes less clicks. (Don't get me wrong, my question is meant seriously).

    Hi Ichnafi,

     

    using LTM Policy or iRules is most likely just a personal preference. From a technical standpoint are LTM Policies a little faster during execution, but on the other site more limited than iRules.

     

    Cheers, Kai
