Stream not working

Hi,

That's fixed it, almost! Is stream a bit flaky? I've been testing myself, and occasionally the stream doesn't seem to have been replaced, even though I'm sending the same request and receiving the same responses.

rule soapfault_rule {

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

set ::soap_stream_in "http://[clientside {[HTTP::host]}]:81"

set ::soap_stream_out "https://[clientside {[HTTP::host]}]"

if {[HTTP::header Content-Type] contains "xml"} {

STREAM::enable

STREAM::expression "@$::soap_stream_in@$::soap_stream_out@"

log local0.warn "@$::soap_stream_in@$::soap_stream_out@"

} else {

STREAM::disable }

}

The rule should only be matching things with xml in the content-type response,but the capture below shows the rule should be matched but the url is not being redirected to https. I can't see why it only fails intermittently when the same request is sent time after time and works 90% of the time, any advice would be grateful:
