Opened: Mar 07, 2024

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

We can create the following iRule in BIG-IP with the pool command. However, the iRule does not work as expected. when WS_REQUEST { log local0. "using myHttpOss2" pool myHttpOss2 }

Impact

It limits the user functionality, and they cannot write the irules according to their need.

Conditions

Create an iRule with a WS_REQUEST event and include pool command in it.

Workaround

Whatever is supported in HTTP_REQUEST should be supportable in WS_REQUEST also. Even though we cannot use the pool command in WS_REQUEST, the purpose can be achieved using the HTTP_REQUEST event.

Fix Information

None
