NimbostratusSetting HTTP cookie
My requirment is to set a cookie and then redirect to another uri. Here is the code i am using
HTTP::cookie insert name "ADPADMIN" value $forcedpod path "/" domain "commonag-portal-dit.nj.adp.com"
HTTP::redirect "/public/index.htm"
i am able to redirect to the uri but not able to set the cookie.
Let me know any thoughts

You can't use HTTP::redirect and set an HTTP header in the redirect response. You can do this using HTTP::respond (Click here):
HTTP::respond 302 Location "/public/index.htm" Set-Cookie $my_cookie
You can check the wiki page for examples of setting the cookie properties.

Rupa_34586I tried using the HTTP::respond.Below is my complete code
if ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/admin/") } {
set forcedpod [string toupper [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 4]]
set cookie "ADPADMIN=$forcedpod;path=/;domain=ag-portal.nj.xyz.com"
HTTP::respond 302 "/public/index.htm" "Set-Cookie" $cookie
log local0. "***setting the $forcedpod"
}
I am getting page cannot be displayed in the browser.
I could see the "***setting the $forcedpod" in the bigip.means its going into the if block but..somehow its not redirecting.- hoolioMake sure to include the Location header name in the redirect, as HTTP::respond won't set it automatically like HTTP::redirect does:
HTTP::respond 302 Location "/public/index.htm" "Set-Cookie" $cookie
