check the used protocol and add new header filed

Hi together,

 

 

is it possible to check the used protocol (http or https) from a request and then, based of the kind uof protocol, add a field into the header and send it to the server pool?

 

 

Example:

 

 

If https is used set new feld proto=1, of http is used, set new field proto=0

 

 

 

Thanks

    Hi Bjoern,

     

     

    I would think you could use [TCP::client_port] and check for it to be 443 and then add the header, of course if you're using a non-standard port that would need to be accounted for. Or you could check to see if [SSL::sessionid] exists. Then just use the HTTP::header command to add the header you want.

     

     

    Syntax for all these in the wiki: (Click here).

    yeah, this works:

     

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

     

    if { [TCP::local_port] == 443 }{

     

    HTTP::header insert SSL 1

     

    } else { HTTP::header insert SSL 0}

     

     

    }

     

     

     

    thanks
