Change Referer on inbound HTTP::header
I have an application that monitors the "Referer" in the header very specifically.
I need to change "https://domain.com/uri?important_server_data" TO "http://domain.com/uri?important_server_...

Dec 10, 2008Hello Aaron,
Option 2 is more of what I wanted. <<<<<<<<< You could potentially modify the referer header value when the client makes a request to your site via LTM using HTTP::header replace Referer $newreferer_value. What would you want to set the referer to? I'm guessing this isn't what you want though. >>>>>>>>>>
See what I need is when the visitor leaves my page they hit my traffic server (which is a separate domain)it replaces the referer value to whatever site.com/page.php that is dictated by the rule.
So here is how traffic currently flows: Mysite --------> Traffic Server (referer of my site is lost) ------------> Final destination
Currently "Final Destination" sees blank referer or even sometimes Traffic server info in logs.
I want a header replace rule that will change the referer to whatever I dictate.
OR
What if I sent directly to Traffic server and initiated BIG-IP to rewrite the referer in http header.
OR
Big-IP first to replace http header then to traffic server then final destination.
Are any of these possible?
Thanks,
Marcus
