NimbostratusOperation not supported (line 3)invoked from within "HTTP::header remove x-forwarded-for"
Dears,
I have this error in my Big IP F5 3900 10.24.577:
TCL error: xxxxxxxxx - Operation not supported (line 3) invoked from within "HTTP::header remove x-forwarded-for"
Irule is:
when HTTP_REQUEST { strip all instances of the given header while {[HTTP::header exists x-forwarded-for]}{ HTTP::header remove x-forwarded-for } HTTP::header insert X-Forwarded-For [IP::remote_addr] set http_request_time [clock clicks -milliseconds] ........
How can I modify it to avoid this error?
Any suggestion will be welcome.
Fabrizio.

- Please re-post the irule, and use the "preformatted/code" option in the editor when pasting it. Paste the full irule if possible, and obfuscate any sensitive parts that if necessary, without altering the meaning of the irule.

Couple of things. change your
towhile
and you should be good to go with the irule. However, if you are on v11.5+ you can use the HTTP profile to ignore the X-Forwarded-For header from clients by configuring X-Forwarded-For header acceptance to disabled. You can then also enable X-Forwarded-For header insertion in the profile to insert that header. This will be much more efficient than the iRule.if
