action if http::header host exists

Simple enough question, and I'm drawing a blank and can't find anything relevant in the wiki or the forums:

 

Just looking for the correct syntax ..

 

 

if exists Host then replace HTTP::host with my.xyz.com

 

else

 

insert HTTP::header Host your.xyz.com

 

 

I'm converting HTTP/1.0 requests to HTTP/1.1 ... that part is working fine, but I want the LTM to insert an HTTP HOST entry should the original 1.0 request not have it.

 

 

Thanks

    Something like this?

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if {[string length [HTTP::header value Host]]}{
      HTTP::header replace Host my.xyz.com
   } else {
      HTTP::header replace Host your.xyz.com
   }
}

    Why not just use the "HTTP::header exists" command?

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if {[HTTP::header exists Host]}{
      HTTP::header replace Host my.xyz.com
   } else {
      HTTP::header replace Host your.xyz.com
   }
}

    ???

    would the HTTP::header replace Host your.xyz.com work if the Host statement doesn't exist?

    The wiki page for HTTP::header (Click here) indicates that if the header doesn't exist already, it will be inserted, so Deb's example should work perfectly.
