Mar 01, 2006Single domain and multiple cookies
A customer is having difficulties with the large amount of
cookies that are presented back to the client. The number of returned cookies for a single site may exceed the RFC standard for this and they are looking for a solution where the client is only presented with a single cookie that cloaks all server cookies.
The questions I have is:
- Is there a way with irules to take care of this problem?
So can we in any way present less cookies to the client and still use the cookies to the server (and therewith the persistency)?

- Colin_Walker_12Historic F5 AccountWell, my first question would be...why so many cookies?
- unRuleY_95363Historic F5 AccountActually, I will add in that yes, this is totally feasible. Here is the approach that you could take.

The reason why they want this construction is that multiple application are seated behind one url. Every application has its own cookie and need to be persistance on that cookie. The application number will exceed the 20 and therefore more than 20 cookies can be stored in one session. Since the RFC only states that a client need to be able to store 20 cookies we are looking for a way to present one cookie to the client and preserve the cookies from the server.
