ConnectControl HTTP
Maintain HTTP Sessions
ConnectControl provides a
redirection mechanism ensuring that all connections
comprising an HTTP session are directed to a single
server. This is vital for many Web applications, such as
those using HTTP-based forms, which require that a
single server process all user data. This redirection
mechanism maintains server connectivity to efficiently
balance incoming Web requests without service
interruption or loss of information.
The HTTP
redirection mechanism works in conjunction with
ConnectControl's load balancing algorithms. The initial
HTTP connection is directed to the proper web server
based on the chosen algorithm. ConnectControl then
notifies the client that subsequent connections should
be directed to the IP address of the selected server
rather than the IP address of the logical server pool.
The remainder of the session is conducted without
ConnectControl intervention. All operations are
transparent to end users.
