How to remove the "Server: BIGIP" header when using "HTTP::redirect"

Hello all,

 

 

I use an iRule to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS and it works fine, here it is :

 

 

----------------------------------------------------------

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

Redirects all to HTTPS keeps URI intact

 

HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]

 

}

 

----------------------------------------------------------

 

 

However I noticed that BigIP adds a "Server: BIG-IP" header in the response, is there a way to remove it ?

 

 

I tried all these examples without success :

 

 

----------------------------------------------------------

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

Redirects all to HTTPS keeps URI intact

 

HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]

 

HTTP::header remove Server

 

}

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

 

or

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

Redirects all to HTTPS keeps URI intact

 

HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]

 

}

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

HTTP::header remove Server

 

}

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

or even (I know it's the same but it tried it anyway...) :

 

 

iRule n°1

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

Redirects all to HTTPS keeps URI intact

 

HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]

 

}

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

iRule n°2

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

HTTP::header remove Server

 

}

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

It seems that "when HTTP_RESPONSE" matches only when receiving the response from the web server, not when the "redirect" function is used.

 

 

Anyone has an idea ?

 

Thanks a lot.
