Forward Traffic to Proxy Server

I have an application server on the inside of our network that needs to send HTTPS soap messages to one of our clients. No devices on our network have direct access to the Internet; rather all outbound traffic must go through a Proxy server. The application on the server is not Proxy aware and I was thinking I could create a VS and use an iRule to redirect the traffic to the Proxy server. Can someone help me with the iRule?

 

 

Application Server --> F5 --> Proxy Server --> Internet

    Hi Eric,

     

     

    Just a question: you say your application is not proxy aware, but it seems that the application is a java based application (since you are using a java key store). In general java applications use either the http stack from the jvm which does support proxies or the Apache jakarta HTTP commons client which also supports proxies.

     

     

     

    In other words: are you really sure you cannot configure a proxy?
