"PIDX:Inbound host and uri: [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"} dev Redirect if { [HTTP::host] starts_with "b2b0031" and [HTTP::uri] equals "/RosettaNet" } { HTTP::header insert Authorization "Basic WElfQVgwMDFEVjAwOmxpdmU0ZnJlZTE=" set devsappihost [ class match -value dev equals sappihosts] if { $debug>=1 } {log local0. "Redirecting to dev SAP PI"} HTTP::redirect "http://$devsappihost$pirnifuri" } } }

i understand HTTP::header insert will insert header to request toward pool member (server) but HTTP::redirect sends response back to client telling where the new location is. i mean they work in opposite direction.

Basic authentication is a base64-encoding of the username and password: ex. demoAdmin:demoAdmin = ZGVtb0FkbWluOmRlbW9BZG1pbg== So to set this in a header, just do this:

set basicdata [b64encode "demoAdmin:demoAdmin"]
HTTP::header insert Authorization "Basic $basicdata"
