Pools and Persistence

I meant to mention that I thought that might be what you meant but that I tried that too. Actually, when you just bump it one level back, it negates the pool command from within the if statement.

However, while I awaited your reply, I realized the solution to that problem. I simply need to start the HTTP_REQUEST script with a pool definition and negate it instead when the if statement matches. It finally works using this:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
  set default_pool [LB::server pool]
}
when HTTP_REQUEST timing on {
  pool $default_pool
  if { ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/sc/") } {
    set current_date [clock format [clock seconds] -format {%D} ]
    
    if {([matchclass $current_date equals $::Holidays ] )} {
      HTTP::uri "/offhour.html"
      log "Blocked for holiday"
      persist none
      pool after_hour_pool
    }
    else {
      log "Access to SC allowed"
    }
  }
}

Thanks for your help! You've saved me again.
