ACE - Redirect

schimeha1977 · ‎10-28-2008

Hi !

I am trying to do the following:

A customer dials into our network. The first HTTP Request get`s redirected to some Content-Page.

This could be annoying for some customers that`s why we want to implement a button on that page to DISABLE this Redirect Feature for that customer.

I am sure the redirect will work - but I am wondering if it`s possible to store some data on the customers web-browser - to make sure the feature remains DISABLED whenever he dials to the network again - and doesn`t get redirected anymore .

Is there a chance to match on the ACE against some sort of f.e. cookie - to make sure the client is not redirected anymore if this cookie is present ?

If not - then the client gets redirect.

I would really appreciate any help / hints.

cheers

Hans

In the following example if the http request comes for VIP:192.168.1.1 then the header is checked for cookie name "testcookie" and if the cookie value is "Donot-Redirect" then request is served by serverfarm "APP1-sf" and if this value is not present then request is redirected to http://192.168.120.132/redirect.html .
