Hi!   Is there any plan to support natively the RFC 7239 HTTP extension, Forwarded: headers ?   Best regards.

Please explain your requirement. Requirement can be achieved via iule.

  • Yes it can be achieved via an iRule but for performance reasons we'd like to avoid this
  • We know that LTM supports X-Forwarded-For, but this is not a standard
  • RFC7239 "Forwarded:" headers is now a standard, but it's not supported natively by F5

So that was a simple questions: Is there anything planned to support natively this standard? :)
