NimbostratusF5 as 'reverse proxy' ?
We have a case where we have a number of 'internal' webservers in a pool, assigned to a Virtual Server. Inbound requests / responses work fine for this setup.
Now, we need these webservers to be able to make an outbound request for content residing in Azure, pull in the content / response and display it in an iFrame while honoring the '"X-Frame-Options" "SAMEORIGIN"' header, which we set with an iRule, as below.
when HTTP_RESPONSE { HTTP::header insert "X-Frame-Options" "SAMEORIGIN" }
Any thoughts as to the best way to accomplish this ?
Thanks !!
If the requirement is simply the ability for back end servers to make outbound requests, then a forwarding virtual server would be the solution. The servers could also point to a VS address on the F5 and the external servers could be pool members.
