Missing HTTP response headers from BigIp LTM
I have an nginx webserver sitting behind a BigIP LTM. The nginx server
receives long-poll HTTP requests from clients and return a response that
contains caching headers (Etag/Last-Modified) that are used for the
proper functioning of the long-poll system. The problem that I'm facing
is that long poll requests to a virtual server with a public IP do not
have the 2 headers in the response. The headers are in the first
response but subsequently do not get included. The "date" response
header is also incorrect as it's several hours earlier than what I'm
expecting.
I also tested by making the requests to the internal IP assigned to the nginx server and the headers do get included in each response as expected. So I'm thinking the virtual server configuration has something to do with it but I'm not sure where the fault lies.
