have you tried it without \r\n\r\n?

 

Yes, it didn't work w/out the tacked on cd/lf, good thought though.

That is the key! If the request gets up to the ASM or even a VIP w/ a http profile, we already have a protocol violation and I couldn't find a way to fit it. The HTTP:: attributes could not be modified so far as I can tell. Trying to find other examples on devcentral led me to this approach.

 

Thanks Nitass!
