Simple HTTP info page for your devs
Problem this snippet solves: When implementing a virtual server in a complex multi fire-walling / natting environment, it is useful to reflect the details of a request back to a developer, as opposed to constantly having to supply other departments with the output of /var/log/ltm, or even worse giving non-F5 personnel access to the device. Herewith a very small < 20 lines (in case I can enter 20 or less) irule that responds with everything I can think of gathering as far as request is concerned, in a sort of legible html format, with auto refresh... How to use this snippet: Apply to a virtual server with an http profile.. Code : when HTTP_REQUEST { set response " This is a client info request response " append response " Virtual Server Information Virtual server: [virtual name] Backend Pool: [LB::server pool] " append response " IP Information Client IP: [IP::client_addr] IP hops: [IP::hops] IP Idle Timeout: [IP::idle_timeout] IP TTL: [IP::ttl] Stats Bytes in:\ [IP::stats bytes in] Bytes out:\ [IP::stats bytes out] " append response " TCP Information TCP client source port: [TCP::client_port] TCP mss: [TCP::mss] TCP round-trip-time: [TCP::rtt] " append response " HTTP Information HTTP method: [HTTP::method] HTTP uri: Client request headers " foreach header [HTTP::header names] { append response " $header: [HTTP::header value $header] "} append response " " if {[HTTP::header exists "Content-Length"] } { HTTP::collect [HTTP::header "Content-Length"] } else { HTTP::collect 1048576 } append response "Client request payload: [HTTP::payload] " HTTP::respond 200 -version 1.1 content $response Cache-Control no-cache } Tested this on version: 11.6
