Nimbostratusv10 cookie insert problem
I have a very simple problem.
I have some logic that checks for the existence of a cookie and if it's missing, add one with a value.
When I add the cookie however, I get a comma then...

NimbostratusI am having the same problems. F5 cookie insert is doing things that IIS doesnt like. Its adding commas between new cookies, as described above. More specifically, it looks like F5 is adding a second Cookie header, which IIS is incorrectly trying to append them and shows the comma. In my case this is inadvertently trashing the ASPSESSIONID which breaks my app.
I would think the F5 should correct this and insert the new cookie to the end of the list of cookies in the existing Cookie header.
In 11.x and earlier, the BigIP will add a new cookie header when inserting a cookie.
In 12.x and beyond, the BigIP will try to append the new cookie to a cookie header if able. Since there are multiple different cookie RFC's, and hence versions of the cookie header, the BigIP may not always be able to append. If not, it will fall back to 11.x behavior and insert a new cookie header of the requested RFC version.
The default in 12.x is to use RFC 6265 style cookies.
