Hi,

 

 

To update an HTTP request with the X-Forwarded-For header you'll need to use an iRule or configure it in the HTTP proile (easier)

 

 

If you need to do it for HTTPS Stream, you need to make the BIGIP be the SSL termination i.e use a clientssl profile on your vs (and a server ssl profile to maintain HTTPS between the BIGIP and the server if you wish).
