Strip HTTP Origin header based on its value before hit the ASM

Hi Everyone

Our app using CORS, and it's working normally with correct origin headers:

Origin:  "://"  [ ":"  ]

But also all mobile clients sending Origin header with value 'file://' this causes (Illegal cross-origin request)

POST /xxx/yyy HTTP/1.1
Host: ddd:8001
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 2
Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*
Origin: file://

i want to add iRule to Strip this header 

Origin: file://
before hit the ASM and allow normal Origin headers like: 
Origin: https://xyz.com:8080
Origin: https://xyz.com:8090

ASM Advanced WAF

    Hi Mohanad,

    use the iRule below to remove every 

    Origin
    header that 
    starts_with
    the string 
    file://
    .

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::header value "Origin"] starts_with "file://" } then {
        HTTP::header remove "Origin"
    }
}

    Cheers, Kai
