When a SPOE applet is created to send a message to an agent, the parent of
the associated stream is set to the one filtered. And the relationship
between the streams is removed when the applet is released or when the
processing on main stream is finished.
In the mean time, it is possible to get variables of the parent stream from
the SPOE one. It is not a huge change but this will be amazingly useful. For
instance, it is now possible to be sticky on a server using a critera of the
main streem. Here is an example using the client source address:
listen http
bind *:80
tcp-request content set-var(txn.client_src) src
filter spoe engine {SPOE-NAME} config /{SPOE-CONFIG}
http-request send-spoe-group {SPOE-NAME} {SPOE-MSG}
server www 127.0.0.1:8000
backend spoe-backend
mode spop
timeout server 10s
stick-table type ip size 200k expire 30m
stick on var(ptxn.client_src)
server srv1 ...
server srv2 ...
server srv3 ...
server srv4 ...
Of course, the feature is not limited to stick-tables. Everywhere variables
are used, it is now possible to get the value set on the parent stream from
the SPOE stream.
