***********************************
Configure Delivery Service Steering
***********************************

1)  Create two target delivery services in Traffic Ops.  They must both be HTTP delivery services that are part of the same CDN.

5) As the steering user, assign weights to target delivery services.  This will require logging in to Traffic Ops first via ``http://to.kabletown.net/api/1.2/user/login`` and storing the mojolicious cookie.

	Sample cURL: ``curl -H "Cookie: mojolicious=xxxyyy" -XPUT "https://to.kabletown.net/internal/api/1.2/steering/steering-ds" -d @/tmp/steering.json``

	Sample JSON body:

::

   {
    "targets": [
     {
       "weight": "1000",
       "deliveryService": "target-deliveryservice-1"
     },
     {
       "weight": "9000",
       "deliveryService": "target-deliveryservice-2"
     }
    ]
   }

6) If desired, the steering user can create filters for the target delivery services.

	Sample cURL: ``curl -H "Cookie: mojolicious=xxxyyy" -XPUT "https://to.kabletown.net/internal/api/1.2/steering/steering-ds" -d @/tmp/steering.json``

	Sample JSON body:

::

   {
    "filters": [
     {
       "pattern": ".*\\gototarget1\\..*",
       "deliveryService": "target-deliveryservice-1"
     }
    ],
    "targets": [
     {
       "weight": "1000",
       "deliveryService": "target-deliveryservice-1"
     },
     {
       "weight": "9000",
       "deliveryService": "target-deliveryservice-2"
     }
    ]
   }

7) Any requests to Traffic Router for the steering delivery service should now be routed to target delivery services based on configured weight.  Example: ``curl -Lvs http://tr.steering-ds.cdn.kabletown.net/foo``
