NimbostratusHTTP::header insert
I have implemented the following iRuel to add a httpheaders.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::header insert BESPOKEHEADER "value"
}
It adds the header fine but the value is always blank
any ideas ?
BIG-IP 9.1.1 Build 54.6
Reason for adding this is we have 2 Virtual servers set up on our load balancer. One for https requests and the other for non secure request.
The servers behind the load balancers allways receive a http request as SSL is now handled by the load balancers.
Our applications can no longer use check the headers for SSL as request.servervariables["https"] =="off" always evaluates to true.
So i have added the http header "BESPOKEHEADER" using this iRule to the https virtual server. hope this all makes sence.

Hi,
The rule is simple enough and should work. I tested on a 9.2.3 unit and see in a tcpdump that the header and value are added:
P...<...GET./.HT
TP/1.1..User-Age
nt:.curl/7.10.6.
(i686-redhat-lin
ux-gnu).libcurl/
7.10.6.OpenSSL/0
.9.7i.ipv6.zlib/
1.1.4..Host:.htt
p_vip..Pragma:.n
o-cache..Accept:
.image/gif,.imag
e/x-xbitmap,.ima
ge/jpeg,.image/p
jpeg,.*/*..BESPO
KEHEADER:.value.
...
Note the BESPOKEHEADER: value at the end.
Are you sure that you're not seeing the header and value added? Is it possible it's being added, but the server isn't parsing it as expected?
