Modifying HTTP Version

We have just implemented a F5 based solution and have encountered a problem where SSL based transactions via a proxy just hung. Tracked down to IE 6 (HTTPM settings) HTTP version 1.0, something odd in...

Some more agonising over iRules, lots of packet dumps and debug log entries it would appear that I was looking in the wrong places when I thought that re-writing the HTTP version deleted a lot of data in the HTTP GET/POST/etc.

 

 

Due to the SSL I cannot see the inserted cookie being sent to the client PC but some tools down there show it gets there. Post packets from the F5 to the server also contain the inserted cookie and log traces of the HTTP-RESPONSE show only one server is utilised (Cookie persistence).

 

 

So it all seems to work. Tidied things up and handed it off to the application support types for testing, more testing........

 

 

Thanks for the interest, Ian
