ot Payload data npassing with POST inspection

Hi,     I need some help with an iRule that is designed to inspect both GET and POST data, compare it against a data-group of accepted commands, and then redirect it to the appropriate pool...

Hi Nat,

 

 

The wiki page for HTTP::release says:

 

 

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/http__release

 

 

Releases the data collected via HTTP::collect. Unless a subsequent HTTP::collect command was issued, there is no need to use the HTTP::release command inside of the HTTP_REQUEST_DATA and HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA events, since (in these cases) the data is implicitly released.

 

 

Do you think it still might be required? I was thinking the issue might be an atypical client sending a chunked request. In that case, the request wouldn't have a Content-Length header and could be hitting the HTTP::collect 256 statement.

 

 

This seems like an odd problem, as the payload isn't being modified in any way...

 

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron
