ACE insert-http I_AM header-value "SSL_INIT"

[David Williams]

I am migrating some legacy ace customers and am having trouble with a single line of config.  I have found this line in multiple configuration guides on the internet but there is nothing ever said about it.  Going through the cli reference it seems like all that is going to do is add a header called I_AM and insert the string "SSL_INIT".  Is that right?  Is this a common value used by web servers or was this the result of someone coping configuration off the internet without fully understanding what it was they were adding?

Any help would be appreciated.  This is the only header rewrite config that I have yet to figure out.

Thanks!

Hi David,

Never seen any customer while working with ACE using this. But of course you can make ACE insert any header in HTTP depending upon the requirement by server/application team. It could be specific to the customer.
