post data problem

Question

Hello 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; we load balance weblogic servers with 2 segment; 
&nbsp; vip1 has 2 members  (these members works on application proxy now) they forward requests to the second vip address 
&nbsp; vip2 has 7 members  
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; we took some tcpdumps and some info from servers we see Post Data Message NULL in second tier 
&nbsp; it means we loose post data message in vip2 members 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; for this issue how can i find problem? do you any suggestions,  
&nbsp; i think if we can debug with irule all http requests that we can find why loose post data message? 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; do you suggest any irule for this problem 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; regards 
&nbsp;

&nbsp;  
&nbsp; when HTTP_REQUEST { 
&nbsp;   if { [HTTP::method] == "POST" } { 
&nbsp;     HTTP::collect [HTTP::header Content-Length] 
&nbsp;   } 
&nbsp; } 
&nbsp; when HTTP_REQUEST_DATA { 
&nbsp; if { [regexp {\x03\xB0(.*)\x00} [HTTP::payload]] } { 
&nbsp;     log local0. "null message found" 
&nbsp;   } else { 
&nbsp;     log local0. "null message not found" 
&nbsp;   } 
&nbsp;   HTTP::release 
&nbsp; }

Did you ever find a resolution to this issue??

the_bhattman · Answer

When you perform a redirect from VIP1 to 2 you will need to include POST information 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; I.E. 
&nbsp; HTTP::redirect "http://www.something.com/?value1=foo&amp;value2=foo2&amp;value3=foo3" 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; I hope that helps
