Clarification on HTTP::host

Hi Santosh,

 

 

HTTP::host returns whatever the client sends in the HTTP host header. If a user accesses http://20.30.40.1/index.htm, then the browser sets the host header to 20.30.40.1. Likewise, if a user accesses http://www.example.com:80/index.htm, then the browser sets the host header to www.example.com:80.

 

 

Your iRule should work to select the default pool as long as the client uses a domain name in the host header.
