REST Collector using HTTP Request Header "Host"
Does anyone have experience with using the HTTP request header "Host" for their REST Collector?
When I configure it, it appears to ignore the Host header all together:
Error in the backend being:
While if you use this "Host" header from curl or postman it works without any issue's. For example: [-H "Host: expected-host"]. works like a charm in CURL.
Is there some kind of limit on what request headers are accepted somehow form IGL side?
I've used this tool to test the API request - beeceptor.com
Tested using v8 p9.
Added two headers: Host and Host2
Hi Boris,
Thanks for double checking.. I was a bit afraid this might indeed be the case. I'll see if I raise a case for it or use a workaround (like adjusting my hosts file for example).
hmmm...
Your endpoint is services.somedomain.net (which is most likely passed as host header)
you want to send a host header with this value: fds-something.eu
If you change the host file, then all traffic will be routed to fds-something.eu and not services.somedomain.net
Curious if you were able to make it work.
Hi Boris,
This is actually what I did indeed do, next issue was that the SAN on the target certificate was not yet extended for this host. So waiting for a fix for that, which should resolve it. So some workarounds but it works in the end. Just a bummer it doesn't work the with Host Header.
It's idea time...
Idea Exchange | RSA Community
Not sure whatever happened to the Idea Exchange, but it's been deprecated for some time now, sadly enough.
you mean you can't access this URL - Idea Exchange | RSA Community ?
if you can't access, try this - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JQG3KN6
or you are referring to the old idea exchange (which was under the previous community platform)?
It appears the first url only works when logged on (my bad), otherwise it gives an invalid url error.
And yes I was indeed referring to the old idea exchange, which was really nice to use and track ongoing indea's.
Thanks Boris!
