Trying to retain the original IP address of the connection. Followed instructions in the below article but both options break http requests altogether.
When adding the iRule
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::header insert X-Forwarded-For [IP::remote_addr]
}
The page does not load. We are using the fasthttp and I also tried to duplicate this while Enabling Insert X-Forwarded-For. WHen I do this HTTP work and the page loads but the server is not getting the IP originating address.
There are some limitations for using iRule with header insert command and performance HTTP VIP
"The HTTP Header Insert field of the Fast HTTP profile only supports insertion of a static text HTTP header. The Fast HTTP profile will not perform iRule variable expansion for the HTTP Header Insert field; this is considered an unnecessary performance hit for the Fast HTTP profile."
