Redirect sends "Connection: Keep-Alive" header

Customer says they are seeing the connection kept alive on the BIG-IP end, closing after the timeout when the client never sends another request.

HTTP::header insert Connection Close

and

HTTP::header replace Connection Close

and

HTTP::header remove Connection

all affect the inbound header with no effect on the BIG-IP response

It seems logical that insert / replace / remove can't affect the HTTP::redirect command after it's been issued. Placing the header remove command in HTTP_RESPONSE also didn't work, I'm assuming because that is triggered by a server response, and with a redirect, there is none.

HTTP::respond 302 Location http://www.google.com/ Connection Close

results in both a Connection: Keep-Alive header and a Connection: Close header.

We'd also like to modify the Server: header in the redirect, if possible, to something other than "BIG-IP"...

thanks!
