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
