LTM like Web Proxy (Squid)

Hi all,     I am beginner with the F5.     I need to configure the LTM as a web proxy (squid).     This is possible?     Thanks.   Jayme.

Sorry about that. I had made a few tweaks to the host header parsing and didn't check the syntax afterwards. I updated the last version to also check for absolute HTTP URIs and parse the host from there if present instead of using the Host header.

 

 

Other than that, this example leaves a lot to be desired in terms of RFC2616 web proxy requirements. Most notably, it doesn't handle HTTPS or the CONNECT method.
