Singular Cookie Insert

This should do it;

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
 if { [HTTP::cookie exists "Zend"] } {
  Do nothing
  return }
 else {
  HTTP::cookie insert name Zend value 1 }
}

Hi Steve ,

 

 

Ahh yes it does remove some of them .

 

However we end up with a "Zend" cookie , per path on the domain.

 

So the domain is eg www.site.com , for each path

 

/ cookie

 

/content cookie

 

/assets cookie

 

/content/en cookie

 

/content/images cookie

 

....and so on for each element of the primary URI

 

 

I guess it could because the HTTP response is per path , where almost want it as per virtual server for the client connection....no idea on that though...

 

 

Thanks

We could add another check that might help. I'll get back in 5.

OK, so here's what I was thinking, if we insert the cookie we'll set a variable and then, if it's set we won't insert the cookie again;

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
 if { [HTTP::cookie exists "Zend"] } {
  Do nothing
  return }
 elseif { $cookiecount equals 1 } {
  Do nothing
  return }
 else {
  HTTP::cookie insert name Zend value 1 
  set cookiecount 1 }
}

Hi Steve ,

 

 

Made one change on bracket , to get it save.

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

if { [HTTP::cookie exists "Zend"] }{

 

Do nothing

 

return }

 

elseif { $cookiecount equals 1 } {

 

Do nothing

 

return }

 

else {

 

HTTP::cookie insert name BIGDC value 1

 

set cookiecount 1 }

 

}

 

 

What odd , all appeared well with Google Chrome , but it broke the page with IE 9 and 10.

 

LTM also logs :

 

TCL error: /Jet2Reservations/AddCookie3 - can't read "cookiecount": no such variable while executing "if { [HTTP::cookie exists "Zend"] }{ Do nothing return } elseif { $cookiecount equals 1 } { Do nothing return } else { HTTP::cookie i..."

 

I can get is means we need to set a variable....any help really appreciated....

 

 

Thanks

Hmmm, perhaps this will fix the issue;

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  set cookiecount
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
 if { [HTTP::cookie exists "Zend"] } {
  Do nothing
  return }
 elseif { $cookiecount equals 1 } {
  Do nothing
  return }
 else {
  HTTP::cookie insert name Zend value 1 
  set cookiecount 1 }
}

I can't find much documentation on set. It's possible we could set it (without specifying a value) in the HTTP_RESPONSE event but I'm worried that might clear it's value if it's been set to 1 already. Perhaps someone else can clarify?

Hi Guys ,

 

 

Receive an error of :

 

TCL error: /AddCookie4 - can't read "cookiecount": no such variable while executing "set cookiecount"

 

 

Anyone have any further on how to set a cookie just the once... similar to a persistence cookie but used for LTM for any load balancing mechanism...

 

 

Thanks

I did post back earlier but it seems to have been lost. Try this (without the REQUEST event bit) - it might improve things but I'm not sure it'll remove the error entirely;

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
 if { [HTTP::cookie exists "Zend"] } {
  set cookiecount 1
  return }
 elseif { $cookiecount equals 1 } {
  Do nothing
  return }
 else {
  HTTP::cookie insert name Zend value 1 
  set cookiecount 1 }
}
