Create or edit an HTTP header

You can change the following HTTP headers:

• Header Client IP
• Header via Request
• Header via Response
• Header x Forwarded For
• header-x-forwarded-client-cert
• Header Front End HTTPS
• Header x Authenticated User
• Header x Authenticated Groups

For each of these headers, you can set the action to the following:

• Forward (pass) the same HTTP header
• Add the HTTP header
• Remove the HTTP header

The web proxy can add or remove custom headers from requests or responses. If you are adding a header, you can specify the content to be included in the added header.

Select Create New to open the Create Header window.

To open the Edit Header window, select a header and then click Edit.

Configure the following settings in the Create Header window or Edit Header window and then click OK:

Name	Enter a name for the HTTP forwarded header.
Action	Select the action for the HTTP forwarded header: add-to-request, add-to-response, remove-from-request, or remove-from-response.
Header Content	Enter the content of the HTTP header.
Base64 Encoding	Enable or disable base64 encoding.
Add Option	Select how the new header is added: append, new-on-not-found, or new.
Protocol	Select whether the new header uses HTTP, HTTPS, or both.
Destination Address	Select + to add destination addresses and destination address groups.

To create a web proxy profile and header from the CLI:
