Setting HTTP cookie

You can't use HTTP::redirect and set an HTTP header in the redirect response. You can do this using HTTP::respond (Click here):

 

 

HTTP::respond 302 Location "/public/index.htm" Set-Cookie $my_cookie

 

 

You can check the wiki page for examples of setting the cookie properties.

I tried using the HTTP::respond.Below is my complete code

 

 

if ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/admin/") } {

 

set forcedpod [string toupper [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 4]]

 

set cookie "ADPADMIN=$forcedpod;path=/;domain=ag-portal.nj.xyz.com"

 

HTTP::respond 302 "/public/index.htm" "Set-Cookie" $cookie

 

log local0. "***setting the $forcedpod"

 

}

 

 

I am getting page cannot be displayed in the browser.

 

I could see the "***setting the $forcedpod" in the bigip.means its going into the if block but..somehow its not redirecting.

Make sure to include the Location header name in the redirect, as HTTP::respond won't set it automatically like HTTP::redirect does:

 

 

HTTP::respond 302 Location "/public/index.htm" "Set-Cookie" $cookie
