Hello,

Your syntax is correct:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

HTTP::header insert "f5header" "bigIP"
log local0. "Logs: My header is send to backend server"

}

Please check the following point.

  • You set the irule to your VS (activing HTTP Profile and ssl decryption/interception if you use htts)

Check logs in /var/lg/ltm that you pass trough your Irule (to see in realtime do a tailf /var/log/ltm | grep your-irule-name)

  • Use chrome plugin and inject an header from your browser (and check that you ca see it on your application).

If you see nothing, you may not be looking at the application properly or there is another problem independent of F5...

Regards
