FYI, I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to pass variables between event blocks in an iRule, but ACCESS::session is not working in HTTP_REQUEST. When I do ACCESS::session data set followed immediately by ACCESS::session data get on the same key, I get an empty string as a result.

 

I did find that the docs for HTTP_REQUEST event (https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.HTTP_REQUEST.ashx) does not list ACCESS::session as an available command. However, I still have not found a good way to pass a user-specific variable between event blocks.
