Hello,
You can use the following :
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::header exists X-Forwarded-For]}{
HTTP::header replace X-Forwarded-For "[HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For], [IP::client_addr]"
} else {
HTTP::header insert X-Forwarded-For [IP::client_addr]
}
}

Hi Yann,
Thanks for the quick response. Will this iRule insert X-Forwarded-For header for the client requests which already have it ??
Looking at the script my understanding is it would check if X-Forwarded-For header exists but cannot understand the replace and insert statements of the script.
Can you please shed some light on it.
