Sticky Based on a Cookie in a URL
If the cookie is present in the URL instead of the cookie field of the HTTP header,
use the
advanced-balance url
command. Some client applications do not accept
cookies. When a site depends upon the information in the cookie, administrators
sometimes modify the server application so that it appends the cookie data to the
parameters section of the URL. The parameters typically follow a “?” at the end
of the main data section of the URL.
In this configuration, the CSS functions in a similar manner as when using the
advanced-balance cookies
command; however, the CSS looks in the URL after
the ‘?’ for the cookie.
Using the full configuration of the
“Sticky Based on a Configured String in an
HTTP Cookie Header”
section, the only difference is the
advanced-balance url
command in the content rule.
