Identify HTTP requests in TCP traffic

If you don't create a virtual for those ports LTM will reject the traffic (unless you have a port 0 virtual which is often not ideal).

You could use something similar to this (from the example in the wiki on TCP::payload) on a port 0 virtual though:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
  TCP::collect 15
}
when CLIENT_DATA {
  if { [TCP::payload 15] contains "XYZ" } {
     pool xyz_servers
  } else {
     pool web_servers
 }
}

where "XYZ" would be some sort of identifier for HTTP syntax and the xyz_servers pool was a redirect page.

BUT, since HTTP::redirect can't be called from CLIENT_DATA and TCP::payload can't be called from HTTP_REQUEST I'm not sure how to cohesively merge the 2 functions...
