NimbostratusInject referer into request header
Hello all. Is there a way with irules to write a referer into a request header? When we connect to the virtual server address, and follow a particular link, there is no referer in the request header. This is causing us a 302 error. If we connect directly to the application server, bypassing the virtual address, the referer is in the header. Is there any way for me to resolve this issue? Thanks so much!

Hi,
You can insert an HTTP header in the request that is sent to the pool member using HTTP::header insert (Click here), but I'm curious to know why the browser isn't inserting a Referer header to begin with. Can you trace the requests using a browser plugin like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler for IE and post anonymized examples of the issue?
Thanks,

=imt4kebg2xjsthmis0fkh3az - hoolioI assume you're making two requests to the VIP and two requests direct to the server. Can you try to do this and show the requested URIs? Also, when you copy can you preserve the lines?
Thanks,
Aaron
