Lucas,

 

Those request headers should normally not get modified by the BIGIP proxy unless there are other rules instructing it to do so. The only exception could be content-length if we are switching to a chunked body on the server side. Do you have an example of a client-side and server-side request where these are being modified through the proxy?

 

If we are just trying to log these headers this may be a simpler question to answer, though I would advise we rely on HSL instead of local logging unless this is purely for debug/deployment and is temporary.
