Table Add Command Killing Connection
I am using an internal virtual server to load balance ICAP servers. I need to be able to rewrite a HTTP URI based on an ICAP header. The best way I can see to so this is to use a session table. I have added the below iRule to the internal virtual server, but whenever I add the entry in the table I am unable to connect to the destination web service.
I have run traces and even when the application does not connect, the entry in the table appears as expected.
Is there a better way I should be adding this entry to the table?
when RULE_INIT {
set static::icapTable_timeOut 300
}
when ICAP_REQUEST {
set index "[ICAP::header values X-Client-IP]%300_[TCP::client_port]"
}
when ICAP_RESPONSE {
set reason "[string tolower [ICAP::header values X-Block-Reason]]"
if {$reason eq ""} {
set reason "notBlocked!"
}
table add -subtable ::icapTable $index $reason $static::icapTable_timeOut $static::icapTable_timeOut
}

Just a random guess, but that table name ::icapTable looks very suspicious - try a different name like "icapTable".
Also just an FYI - subtables are actually less efficient than tables unless you have a requirement to count the entries, so unless you are doing more than is in the iRule above, I would just use a table with table name "ict_$index" (or somesuch).
