sporadic redirect

Hi

 

 

The last part of the following irule (respond) doesnt always trigger:

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

 

if {$param == 1} {return}

 

 

if {$bcooky == 1} {HTTP::cookie insert name "Site" value "Test" path "/"

 

HTTP::cookie expires "Site" 2678400}

 

 

if {$param == 0} {HTTP::respond 404 content "Page not Found\

 

Page Not Found" }

 

 

I have put log commands in and it does trigger the if statement (== 0) but do you know why it doesnt trigger the respond?

 

 

Thanks

  • Hi Yozzer,

     

     

    That seems like it should work fine. Do you have any modules enabled on the virtual server?

     

     

    Can you post the full anonymized iRule and logs showing the failure? Else, I suggest opening a case with F5 Support so they can review your full config.

    Thanks Aaron

     

     

    No modules enabled apart from ASM. I think this is a proxy/browser problem as i can access the respond 404 externally.

     

     

    Cheers for the reply.

    Hi Aaron

     

     

    Within the HTTP_Request section param is set to 0 if a user goes to a certain path (i.e. https://site.com). We have ASM on so if a user goes to a page that is allowed in the ASM policy (i.e. https://site.com/stop) the param is still set to 0 but we get a connection page reset in the browser and the respond doesnt happen:

     

     

    when HTTP_RESPONSE {

     

     

    if {$param == 1} {return}

     

     

    if {$bcooky == 1} {HTTP::cookie insert name "Test" value $value path "/" domain ".test.com"

     

    HTTP::cookie expires "Test" 172800 }

     

     

    if {$param == 0} {

     

    log local0. " should redirect"

     

    ASM::disable

     

    set dtime 1

     

    HTTP::respond 200 content \ html stuff here

     

     

    Is ASM interfering here?

     

     

    Thanks

    I moved the respond into the HTTP_Request section and i don't see this issue now.

     

     

    Thanks
