NimbostratusRFC 7239 HTTP extension, Forwarded Header
We are looking to replace the X-Forwarded-For header for the newer Forwarded header equivalent. I can see this is not supported natively by F5 but can anyone advise if we can acheive the same thing via an iRule that can be applied to the traffic flow?
CirrostratusHi,
You can use below irule to replace X-Forwarded-For header
when HTTP_REQUEST { HTTP::header remove "X-Forwarded-For" HTTP::header replace "X-Forwarded-For" [IP::client_addr] }
NimbostratusThanks for the response.
Though I think are application guys are more interested in the additional features in the Forwarded Header rather than just seeing the client IP. Think otherwise would just stick with X Forwarded For
CumulonimbusHi,
you can use this irule:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::header insert "Forwarded" [IP::client_addr]
}
