I am adding a custom http header but how to print it out using irules?

[David_M]

Here's what I have done using curl -

The curl request is seen with "-v" it shows that the devicetyp header is being added to the request, but how do i fetch it from irules?

I can see the header if i use this irule with a loop:

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
foreach aHeader [HTTP::header names] { 
log local0. "HTTP Request Headers: $aHeader: [HTTP::header value $aHeader]" 
} }

I want to grab this header value and store in a customer apm variable like session.custom.device.type.. i understand there are other ways to do this but we have chosen this for now.. any ideas??

Hello David_M.

You should get the header value with this command:

[HTTP::header value "devicetyp"]

Also, you can set the APM session variable with:

ACCESS::session data set session.custom.device.type [HTTP::header value "devicetyp"]

that didnt work but this did

when ACCESS_SESSION_STARTED {
ACCESS::session data set session.custom.devicetype [HTTP::header value devicetyp]
}
