The non-cookie persistence does not work unless I have oneconnect enabled. Is this by design? My rule:


when HTTP_RESPONSE {
  if { [HTTP::cookie exists "JSESSIONID"] } {
    set trimID [lindex [split  [HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"] "!" ] 0]
    if { [persist lookup uie $trimID] equals "" } { 
      persist add uie $trimID 1800
      log "added persistent entry $trimID for server [LB::server addr]"
    } else { log "continued sessionID $trimID for server [LB::server addr]" }
  }
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [active_members MyPool] == 0 } {
    HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::header "X-Forwarded-Host"]/myUri.html"
  }
  if { [HTTP::header exists "X-Forwarded-Host"] } {
    HTTP::header replace "Host" [HTTP::header "X-Forwarded-Host"]
  }
  if { not [HTTP::cookie exists "MyCookie"] } {
    set jsess [findstr [HTTP::uri] "jsessionid" 11 "!"]
    if { $jsess != "" } {
    persist uie $jsess 1800
    log "Used URI, value is $jsess, server [LB::server addr]"
    }
  } else {
       log "used Cookie Insert, value is [HTTP::cookie "MyCookie"]" 
    }
}
