With an HTTP/2 profile, a virtual server on a BIG-IP system receives requests and handles cookies converting those into a cookie-string. The BIG-IP system concatenates the cookie pairs with semicolon (%3B) and a space (%20) in the cookie-string. This delimiters pair also is appended to the last cookie pair.
The request forwarded to a backend server contains an extra semicolon at the end of cookie-string.
HTTP/2 profile is configured on a virtual server and a request contains one or more cookies.
Use an iRule to remove an extra delimiter if it negatively impacts backend server performance. For example: when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::header value "Cookie"] contains ";"} { set new_header [string range [HTTP::header "Cookie"] 0 end-2] log local0.notice "$new_header" HTTP::header replace "Cookie" $new_header } }
Virtual server with HTTP/2 profile no longer appends extra delimiter to a cookie-string when it forwards the request to HTTP/1.x backend server.
