The reason for the aribtrary header is that the redirect sends this request to another proxy which uses both pieces of information.

 

 

The Flow is:

 

 

(certificate)-->LTM(convert cert info to headers)-->Proxy--->Website

 

 

Since LTM is consuming the certificate which the Proxy used to use. relevent information is being stored in a header.

 

 

The mytarget header contains the orignial intended URL which the proxy will then pass the user onto.
