Redirect to another URL from inside HTTP::REQUEST after timeout detected

Hi Roman,

 

 

I have been looking at your iRule. The first thing that I am noticing is that you are setting variables in the RULE_INIT event that are being reset in the CLIENT_ACCEPTED Event and then again in the HTTP_REQUEST Event.

 

 

The RULE_INIT is triggered when an iRule is added or is modified.

 

The CLIENT_ACCEPTED is triggered for each client when they connect to the Virtual Server hosting the iRule the first time.

 

The HTTP_REQUEST for each individual request.

 

 

So you are doing some work twice for nothing when you could just do them in the HTTP_REQUEST event (since you are resetting them for each individual request anyway).

 

 

These are the ones I am referring to:

 

set theUrl ""

 

set retry 0

 

set server_addr ""

 

set server_port ""

 

set host_name ""

 

set host_uri ""

 

set host_port ""

 

set host_port_str ""

 

set host_protocol ""

 

set postBackUrl ""

 

 

As far as your error, can reproduce the error, but I am wondering if the illegal argument error that you are getting is due to something missing.

 

 

What does the logging statement show in your LTM Log:

 

log local0.debug "2. Redirecting to $theUrl"

 

 

Does it appear to be the correct URL that it should be?
