CSS SSL-proxy sends wrong port # embeded in HTTP Host Header

michaelkelley

Level 1

Load balancing works fine and so does SSL offloading. Sniffer traces show that host header sent to the server on TCP 81 has no port number appended to it as required by the HTTP RFC.

In current configuration, verified by a sniffer, TCP 443 hits the content rule and it sent to the SSL-PROXY where it is sent on TCP 81 clear text to the server. The server is listening on TCP 81 and the website reachable. Some scripts were failing so I checked the HTTP HOST Header tag in a sniffer trace and found that although I am sending it to TCP 81, the host header says:

HOST: DEV1.SITE.COM

When according to the RFC and other sniffer traces to working servers (not load balanced) it should show:

HOST: DEV1.SITE.COM:81

Is this a configuration problem, bug or feature? :)

Thanks!

this is a known limitation.

Nothing we can do about it right now.
