F5 - insert http header on redirect and carry it over to the redirected site?

Hi,

  I am trying to achieve the following: F5 pretending to be website1.client.com redirects to website2.client.com and inserting http header on redirect. We need to carry this header over in browser request to website2.client.com

 

I am able to insert HTTP header using HTTP:redirect:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::host] equals "webserver1.client.com" } 
       {
            HTTP::respond 302 Location "https://webserver2.client.com" thisisheadername thisisheadervalue
          
       } 
}

 

  I do see my cookie among response headers, however, when going to webserevr2.clinet.com, my cookie not among request headers.

  Is it possible to do? 

Thank in advance.

  • It seems like you're attempting to enter a host header but that should change from website1 to website2 when the HTTP redirect occurs.

  • Hi Paulus,

     

    I am trying to insert a non-default custom header that will be carried over when redirect from website1 to website2 occurs.  I am not trying to insert "host" header. Sorry for my initial question wording if you got such impression.
