How it works...

As previously mentioned, the main purpose of HTTP settings is to ensure that requests are directed to the correct backend pool. But various other options are available. Cookie-based affinity allows us to route requests from the same source to the same target server in the backend pool. Connection draining will control how the server can be removed from the backend pool. If this is enabled, the server can be removed only when all active connections have stopped. Override settings allow us to override the path of the URL to a different path or a completely new domain, before forwarding the request to the backend pool.
