iRule for replacing string in HTTP POST

Using the original poster's request example with a request line of "POST /pls/htmldb/wwv_flow.accept HTTP/1.1", the request method is POST, which you can get/set using [HTTP::method]. The URI (in f5's terminology) is /pls/htmldb/www_flow.accept, which you can get/set using [HTTP::uri]. The version is 1.1, which you can get/set using [HTTP::version].

 

 

I didn't expect the HTTP::header command to actually work against the request line. It looks like TMM might be seeing "POST http://..." and parsing it as a header by grabbing everything up to the ":". That's just a guess though, seeing as the value of that header is "//stgws04.nyenet.state.ny.us/siteminderagent/dmsforms/doLogin.fcc HTTP/1.0"

 

 

If you want to modify the request method, the URI or the version, you should be able to use the individual HTTP:: commands to do so (HTTP::method, HTTP::uri, HTTP::version). I think this would actually be simpler if you're just trying to change the version of the request.
