I would agree. The BIG-IP will return a WWW-Authenticate header with a 401 response. Two thoughts off the top of my head:
-
Return a 200 response. It isn't semantically what you're looking for, but technically you're attempting to display HTML content rather than elicit credentials from the user, so it's closer to a 200 than a 401.

Drop into layer 4 and scrub the response at the TCP layer. It's a little messier, but it should effectively trick the BIG-IP into not sending the WWW-Authenticate header.
