x-forwarded-host

Hi Fletcher,

 

 

If you're currently using a custom HTTP profile with the Insert X-Forwarded-For option enabled, you could add this to the Request Header to Insert field:

 

 

x-forwarded-host: [HTTP::host]

 

 

However, I'm not sure why the host header value would be changed by LTM unless you're using an iRule to rewrite it.

Are the "Header Insert" field entries space delimited?

 

so if I already have GOHTTPS:1 and want to add x-forwarded-host: [HTTP::host] the final entry would be:

 

 

GOHTTPS:1 x-forwarded-host:[HTTP::host]

 

 

?

 

 

Or are they comma delimited?

 

Is it best to put the individual entries in quotes?

 

 

thanks

I don't think you can insert multiple header name/values with an HTTP profile. There's probably a request for enhancement to support this. You could open a case with F5 Support to ask to have your case attached to the RFE.

In the meantime, you can use an iRule to insert multiple HTTP headers:

  
  when HTTP_REQUEST {  
    
      Insert GOHTTPS and x-forwarded-host with corresponding values  
     HTTP::header insert GOHTTPS 1 x-forwarded-host [HTTP::host]  
  }

Hi, I did not want to combine the GOHTTPS with the x-forwarded-for - so I did:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

Insert x-forwarded-host with corresponding value

 

HTTP::header insert x-forwarded-host [HTTP::host]

 

}

 

 

works great, thanks

 

HTTP::header insert accepts lists of header names and values, so this would insert GOHTTPS with a value of 1 and x-forwarded-host with a value of the HTTP host header value:

 

 

HTTP::header insert GOHTTPS 1 x-forwarded-host [HTTP::host]
