Passing decoded certficates in HTTP header

now want the request content sent via a cookie.....what does the request content mean? is it http request headers (GET request does not have payload)?

---------------

The value of a cookie may consist of any printable ascii character (! through ~, unicode \u0021 through \u007E) excluding , and ; and excluding whitespace. The name of the cookie also excludes = as that is the delimiter between the name and value. The cookie standard RFC2965 is more limiting but not implemented by browsers.

HTTP cookie

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie

will you do base64 encoding of http request headers?

e.g.

[root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   destination 172.28.19.79:80
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
   profiles {
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
   HTTP::cookie insert name BIGIPCOOKIE value [b64encode [HTTP::request]]
   virtual backend_vs
}
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual backend_vs list
virtual backend_vs {
   snat automap
   pool foo
   destination 1.1.1.1:80
   ip protocol 6
   rules backend_rule
   profiles {
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule backend_rule list
rule backend_rule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
   log local0. [b64decode [HTTP::cookie value BIGIPCOOKIE]]
}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  ssldump -Aed -nni 0.0 port 80
