This one doesn't work. I tried the below code without any if statements:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

HTTP::header remove "X-UA-Compatible"

HTTP::header insert "X-UA-Compatible" "IE=11.0"

}

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

HTTP::header remove "X-UA-Compatible"

HTTP::header insert "X-UA-Compatible" "IE=11.0"

set user_agent [HTTP::header "X-UA-Compatible"]

log local0. "User agent value is $user_agent"

}

My problem is - I have a website which works externally well on all browsers and internally on all except IE. It's trying to emulate website using version IE7 and giving warning popup message about IE compatibility.

 

I need to force the HTTP Response to the internal users to use IE11.
