How do we report bugs against the plugin?
When you supply a fqdn as the bigip to attach to, that host name is not used in the Host: header for the REST calls.
In most cases this is not an issue. However, when you have a transparent proxy device in path that plays with IP addresses and makes decisions based on L7 content (idk, something like an LTM perhaps) it can block communication. If an fqdn is supplied as the device destination, it should be provided in the Host: header. It should also be used in the SNI attribute for TLS as well. I didn't check that part though.
The Windows only iRule Editor does properly supply the Host: header with the correct fqdn.
