NimbostratusInserting WL-Proxy-SSL header via iRule
Hello -
I have an application that is a bit strange in the sense that certain pages require the "WL-Proxy-SSL: true" request header to display all elements on the page via SSL, but other pages on the site won't load with that header inserted. I am able to selectively remove the request header for the elements that won't use it, but there are about 25 of them as opposed to 4 elements that need the header. I have read everything that I can find regarding the HTTP::header insert string, but it just doesn't work for me. I'm running BIG-IP version 10.2.0 HF2. According to everything I've read, this should work! What am I missing?
Below is an excerpt of the current iRule:
Portal context
set portal_uri "/portal"
Layouts context
set layouts_uri "/_layouts"
Set Header information
set WLheader "WL-Proxy-SSL"
set WLheaderVal "true"
Retrieve the list of pools from the data group list
set clientPoolList [ findclass $host $DATA_GROUP_LIST " " ]
Route requests to Portal.
if { $uri starts_with $portal_uri }{
HTTP::header insert $WLheader $WLheaderVal
Identify the Portal pool
set portal_pool [getfield $clientPoolList " " 3]
log local0.notice "Forwarding to Portal pool: $portal_pool. Uri: $uri"
pool $portal_pool
return
} elseif { $uri starts_with $layouts_uri }{
HTTP::header insert $WLheader $WLheaderVal
log local0. "Inserting $WLheader: [HTTP::header value $WLheader]"
Identify the Portal pool
set portal_pool [getfield $clientPoolList " " 3]
log local0.notice "Forwarding to Portal pool: $portal_pool. Uri: $uri"
pool $portal_pool
return
