Inject referer into request header

Hi,

 

 

You can insert an HTTP header in the request that is sent to the pool member using HTTP::header insert (Click here), but I'm curious to know why the browser isn't inserting a Referer header to begin with. Can you trace the requests using a browser plugin like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler for IE and post anonymized examples of the issue?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron

I assume you're making two requests to the VIP and two requests direct to the server. Can you try to do this and show the requested URIs? Also, when you copy can you preserve the lines?

 

 

Thanks,
