Bug Details

Priority: 4-Minor
Status: New
Impact Category: Local Traffic Manager
Views: 5

Description

Symptoms

The 'pool'/'virtual' iRule commands cause the specified pool to be used directly. However, with HTTP/2, the 'pool'/'virtual' command may fail to execute within the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event. This results in no traffic being sent.

Impact

With HTTP/2 configured, the iRule 'pool'/'virtual' commands fail to execute within the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event, causing no traffic to be sent to the desired pool/virtual.

Conditions

-- A 'pool'/'virtual' command is used under CLIENT_ACCEPTED event. -- An HTTP/2 profile applied to virtual server. -- The HTTP/2 protocol in use. -- HTTP/2 Message Routing is disabled.

Workaround

As a workaround, you may use HTTP_REQUEST event instead of CLIENT_ACCEPTED in iRule syntax.
