redirect POSTs bigger than 1MB

Hi,

 

 

Finally I got this iRule working. The issue was to use discard not reject.

 

I don't excatly know the difference between these two commands,

 

but now it works almost great.

 

 

Now I have noticed that if client tries to send much more bigger file

 

(actually over 140 kilobytes) HTTP::respond does not work correctly.

 

I have added logging statements to the iRule and it seems to me that every step goes OK.

 

 

I have check the request log from the web server behind Big-IP

 

that the POST request has been discard by Big-IP. That is great,

 

but I want to send a real response to the client.

 

 

What could cause this behaviour?

 

 

Here is my current iRule:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/upload" } {

 

set method [HTTP::method]

 

set clen [HTTP::header Content-Length]

 

if { $method =="POST" and $clen > 133120 } {

 

log local0. "Over 130 kb post: ($clen) from [IP::client_addr]"

 

discard

 

HTTP::close

 

HTTP::respond 307 "Location" "http://www.mydomain.com/xxx.html"

 

 

}

 

}

 

}
