Nimbostratusnote that there are a few things people might want atop this iRule: 1) Support for Client SSL on the inbound connections that are using proxy protocol 2) Insertion of Proxy Protocol Source IP address into HTTP X-Forwarded-For header on server side 3) "Spoofing" of Proxy Protocol Source IP by BIG-IP (assuming servers are pointed at BIG-IP as default gateway) on server-side connections.
All of these things should be doable and I'm happy to add them.
