You can add extra logic to check if the cookie path has been set or not

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set cookies [HTTP::cookie names]
    foreach cookie $cookies {
        set cookie_value [HTTP::cookie $cookie]
        set cookie_path [HTTP::cookie path $cookie]
        if {$cookie_path ne ""} {
            log local0. "Cookie names in received request: $cookie_value and $cookie_path"
        } else {
            log local0. "Path is empty for cookie: $cookie"
        }
    }
}

Hi VRN,

a User-Agent will not send the Cookie-Path parameter to your web server. The Cookie-Path parameter is only send by Web Server, to signal die User-Agent to which Path the cookie is allowed to send.

If the path is matching, the User-Agent will send just a

cookie=value
(without any parameters). If the path if not matched, the User-Agent will omit the cookie from the request...

Cheers, Kai


iRule can do… 😉
