need to insert new info into HTTP query or uri

Aaron,

 

 

good point and thanks for the hint.

 

Actually I have no default pool, just site A or B.

 

 

I solved the problem just by including my if { $qstring starts_with "/A"} {.... routine into the big elseif routine:

 

 

...

 

elseif { [HTTP::cookie exists "AB_test"] } {

 

not a bad ip addr and no crawler, look for existing cookie

 

set client_id [HTTP::cookie "AB_test"]

 

this is used to direct the traffic

 

set qstring [HTTP::query]

 

log local0. "Cookie found= $client_id"

 

log local0. "old query string= $qstring "

 

set qstring $client_id

 

log local0. "new query string= $qstring "

 

now the load balancing is done

 

if { $qstring starts_with "A"} {

 

pool poolA

 

log local0. "send to poolA"

 

return

 

}

 

elseif { $qstring starts_with "B"} {

 

pool poolB

 

log local0. "send to poolB"

 

return

 

}

 

}

 

else {

 

.....

 

 

 

so, now it is working and I am thinking of a good way to get my requests to persist as I do not see a unique value for each (not ip, not the cookie) maybe a hash?
