Erasing 2 Headers using http profile

Hi Kalyan,

 

 

I think you can actually put a space delimited list of header names you'd like to remove from requests in the HTTP profile 'Request Header Erase' field.

Hi Aaron,

 

 

i tried space as delimeter and it is not working.

 

 

Any other solutions except irule .

 

 

Your help is greatly appreciated

 

Hrm... I thought I saw an F5 solution suggesting the space delimited header names would work. I just tested on 10.2 and found it didn't work. Sorry about that.

 

 

If this isn't supported, I think you'd need to use an iRule. You could confirm this by opening a case with F5 Support. It seems like it would make a good request for enhancement. If you do open a case and get a change request number, could you reply back here with it for others to reference?

 

 

Thanks, Aaron

Header Erase field takes a single header to remove. Multiple headers are not supported.

 

There are some good alternatives, however.

 

1. LTM Policy (http-header remove name headername) This is a good solution which should be fast, and doesn't (necessarily) incur the overhead of Tcl/iRule execution.

    

2. iRules - highly flexible, but extra overhead

    

a) HTTP::header remove headername Remove specified headername, add as many as desired

 

b) HTTP::header sanitize Remove ALL headers except for essential ones needed by the protocol
