BIG-IP : http profile : insert multiple headers
F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition v11.4.1 (Build 635.0) LTM on ESXi
Via the web-admin, I can create/edit an
http profileRequest Header Insert = "X-Forwarded-Proto:http"But what if I want to insert multiple headers ?
What is the syntax ?
Further, does
Request Header InsertAlso, I set
Insert X-Forwarded-ForEnabledX-Forwarded-For

You must use an iRule to insert more than one I believe. To do it with an iRule you can do something simple like this:
when HTTP_REQUEST { HTTP::header insert [list X-Forwarded-Proto http header2 value2 headerN valueN] }- Thanks Brad - could you please also take a look at my amended question ?

This is an old question, but I noticed (v13.1.0.5) that the GUI help for Request Header Insert specifically says that multiple headers may be inserted, but does not indicate the syntax.
"Type a string that the system inserts as a header in an HTTP request. If the header exists already, the system does not replace it. For multiple header insertions, both LTM Policies and iRules support inserting multiple headers into a request"
I've tried separating by spaces (as is indicated for Allowed Headers) or \n , but only the last header is inserted correctly, i.e.:
Header1:yes Header2:nocomes out on a single line as:
Header1 yes Header2=no- Kevin_Davies

Try a semicolon as a seperator
