Admindoesn't appear to be a way to do that directly with curl. Is curl required, or are you just trying to do testing from BIG-IP to a server to mimic client traffic? If you can provide a little more detail in what you're end goal is, might be able to help come up with an alternative.
AltocumulusThanks for the reply :-)
As you mentioned this is for testing purposes. I want to mimic traffic as if it had originated via the 'real' path through the F5.
It doesn't need to use curl if something else would fit the bill. However whatever is used needs to be able to mimic real HTTP traffic, including HTTP keepalive operation whereby I would send multiple HTTP request/response messages across the same TCP session. The connection also uses TLS mutual authentication, so whatever testing 'tool' is used needs to cope with TLS establishment including the use of a client certificate.
Note also that I don't want to actually deploy any new LTM config to support testing - e.g. I don't want to set up some sort of 'test' VS alongside the 'real' VS which would take test traffic only. I am looking for something non intrusive like curl or openssl s_client (although openssl has caused me problems before because it ends up sending a line feed in front of any HTTP requests after the first one - not sure how to stop that happening).
