    Hi JO_JO,

    "insert" command is required to add http header. Can you try this iRule?

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { [class match [SSL::cipher version] equals tls-version] } {
		HTTP::header insert "version" [SSL::cipher version]
	}
}

Hello,

The problem with your iRule is that you're attempting to compare the value of the version variable to the data group tls-version using the class match command. However, the class match command is used to match against a predefined class, not a data group.

To fix this issue, you can modify your iRule as follows:

when CLIENTSSL_CLIENTHELLO {
set version [SSL::cipher version]
}

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[class match [string toupper $version] equals tls-version]} {
HTTP::header replace "version" "$version"
}
}

In this updated iRule, we convert the version variable to uppercase using string toupper to ensure a case-insensitive match. Then, we compare it to the class tls-version. If there is a match, we replace the existing version header (if present) with the value of the version variable.

Make sure you have defined the data group tls-version properly with the values "SSLv3", "TLSv1", and "TLSv1.1".

Note: It's important to mention that SSLv3 and TLSv1.1 are considered insecure and deprecated protocols. It's highly recommended to use more secure versions like TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3.
