F5- reading a custom TCP header and creating an HTTP header

Hello all-

 

 

I am investigating the possibility that, for incoming request traffic, the F5 can read from the TCP Option Header, and place the value in an HTTP header.

 

 

The use case for this is to support an application service that adds some needed information to the L4 header, via the TCP Option location. That information needs to find it's way to the HTTP logs, so using the F5 to read from TCP/write to HTTP header seems logical, if it's possible to do.

 

 

Thanks!
