Set-Cookie in Response, based on Requested URI

Hi Guys

 

 

I am trying to set a cookie in a HTTP_RESPONSE, but only when the HTTP_REQUEST is to a specific HTTP::uri

 

 

To set a cookie on all http responses is easy, for example:

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

HTTP::cookie insert name "Cookie_Name" value "ClientDetectedtrue"

 

}

 

 

BUT, how do I only set the response cookie on one specific response.

 

 

I wanted to do something like ..

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE{

 

if {[[HTTP::path] equals "/my.policy"]} {

 

HTTP::cookie insert name "Cookie_Name" value "ClientDetectedtrue"

 

}

 

}

 

 

BUT I cannot use the HTTP::path in a HTTP_RESPONSE.

 

 

Any ideas on hoe to selectively send a Set-Cookie, in only one specific response within a conversation ?

 

 

Thanks

 

Gary
