Context between HTTP request and respose

Can I have context between HTTP request and response? In other words, if I set a variable in an iRule script in request event, can I access it in response event for that connection?

Sure can. Variables without a namespace are automatically assigned to the current connection. So, as long as it's during the same connection, you can set variables in one event, and retrieve them from another.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  set orig_uri [HTTP::uri]
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
  log local0. "Original URI: $orig_uri"
}
