Inject 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...

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,

 

Aaron
