table command causing abort of rule event HTTP_REQUEST

Hello everyone, This is my first dig into iRules, and I'm hitting an issue with the table command that is aborting my rule. I'm essentially trying to rate limit requests per URI per ASPNET Session ...
application delivery
deployment
devops
iRules
LTM

The currCount would return 0 if it's the first attempt at that URI for the current ASPNET Session ID in the last 30 seconds.

isn't it one? anyway, it is not going to be null, is it?

Returns the entry's value after the set operation is complete.

Would this also be if the HTTP request completes before the rule is completely executed?

i do not think http request is complete because if it is, irule should be complete too, shouldn't it?

have you tried tcpdump? tcpdump may show what happens on the connection.

    Good point.. it would always return 1. I originally was using just table set, but changed it to see if the abort would stop occurring. My understanding was that it wouldn't complete without the iRule, either, but wanted to ask just to be sure. I have done a tcpdump, and the connection looks completely normal. No early terminations, fins, rst, etc.. Again, everything is fine without the iRule.. could something in the iRule be causing this? It doesn't seem like the rule is hitting any piece where it actually interferes with the connection before it is aborting.
