How to make BigIP proxy a request of a pool member

Hello

I have a single pool member located on a different network and I need F5 to send the http request over to it via a proxy, so something like 

curl --proxy myproxy:8080

Can someone walk me through an example please ?

Thanks

    you can test this:

     

    curl -k --proxy myproxy:8080

     

    Your backend hostname have to be reach by your proxy (backenhostname dns resolution must work)

     

    If your proxy policy allows you, you can set backend ip:

     

    curl --proxy myproxy:8080 http://1.1.1.1

     

    For information set -k if you use ssl and want to ignore cert value et -v for verbose.
